Boot CD

Hello,

My new computer running Vista doesn't have a floppy drive, so I need to
create a bootable CD with a few essential programs on it. What is the best
way/method of doing this?

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you need a bootable CD? I have successfully booted
direct from the Vista DVD (it was a full version, which may be
different to the upgrade version).

No, I'm not sure. I'll take delivery of the new PC tomorrow and will try. It
just seemed logical that to boot you needed a bootable CD. Will let you
know.

Thanks.

If Vista was preinstalled on your computer, I think they want to
discourage you from making a bootable CD. They want you to keep buying
new computers to get more Vista.
