In this NEW era of computing I have noticed a trend towards foregoing floppy diskdrives due to there SPACE inefficiency and what not.  I understand they are dinosaurs, but I loved being ABLE to pop in a simple disk with all my fdisk/dos utilities for bootups at one click of the disk.  I was wondering if someone had a simple bootdisk or windows98 bootdisk in a cd rom format that I COULD easily use to help recover my fallen system (obviously a cdrom driver would be needed in this scenario).

Mainly just need all the basics for booting a formatted machine up: autoexec etc. Hopefully I can find a usable substitute for the tried and true floppy diskette.

ThanksYou know, if you want to recover your files from a broken Operating System, you can try a portable Linux. If your interested --> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/

As for you original question, are you trying to repair your OS? or do you just want to recover the data?I use The Ultimate Boot CD....
