[Ham-Computers] Change a Bootable Floppy to a Bootable CD

My newest computer, a Dell E510, has a USB floppy which I can't 
include as a bootable device.

I have bootable floppies for Norton Ghost and Partition Magic, which 
I would like to change to bootable CD-R's.  I'm primarily interested 
in Ghost, which boots into PC DOS.

After searching the web, I found www.bootdisk.com/nero.htm and 
discovered that Nero and Adaptek Direct CD provide a bootable CD 
option.  I don't have Nero, so tried Adaptek Direct CD v5.2.  I went 
through the steps, but the resulting CD isn't bootable.  I've made 
enough CD-R coasters, so it is time to ask for help.

Thanks, Jim
