I'd guess that it's using the "no emulation" or "native" boot method, where the boot descriptor points to code that gets loaded and executed directly, instead of having an emulated floppy or HD image. Google gives this for a specification: <http://www.phoenix.com/resources/specs-cdrom.pdf>; > either way, how can I make this a bootable device of some other form? No idea really; you can certainly extract the boot code from the CD, but you'd have to figure out what the boot code then does... -- Stefan Bethke <stb@lassitu.de> Fon +49 170 346 0140
