The Data Disc project can be used to easily create bootable CDs or DVDs from a bootable floppy disk or from a disc image file on your hard drive. A bootable CD or DVD can be used to start your computer if your operating system becomes damaged.

Bootable discs offer a level of flexibility and customization not available from the recovery discs provided with most computers.

• To create a bootable CD or DVD from a bootable floppy disk, your computer must have a floppy disk drive.
• Test your boot floppy before using it to create a bootable CD or DVD.
• 1.44 MB and 2.88 MB bootable floppy disks are supported.
• Most modern computers support bootable CDs or DVDs, but many older computers do not.
• Your computer may need to be told to start from a CD or DVD drive by changing the settings in the BIOS setup. Refer to your computer’s operating instructions for more information.
