here is my situation: I have no floppy-drive I have two fat32 partitions but none of them can be booted from I have no win9x cd to boot from.
I need to make a bootable CD, and have looked around the net for how to make it, but all of them requires me to first make a bootable floppy disk then create that as an image.
But I dont have any floppy disk, is there anywhere I can download such an image?

CrazyKiller is right, a brand new floppy drive is about 10$ at any PC place, if you do not have a computer store near you then you can go to Walmart and pay 15$ for one. Problem is then solved.

Oh yeah, I have a floppy drive all right, but it dont work in my PC. So since I'm using CD-RWin I thought I could just download what it needs to make a boot CD, a boot-disk image that is. In advanced options in wants such an image, anyone know where I can get it? I can use norton utilities to build it, but I dont have a floppy disk, nor do I have a copy of norton utilities!

I already tried that site, and all I found was a "windows ME disk image" I tried this one with CDRwin but it didn't boot from the CD

try using the boottable for w2k CDs off one of those sites that tells you how to make a bootable win2k CD. Otherwise if anyone knows how to extract the bootsector off a win98 CD i will do that and send you a copy.

Heres a real simple quick fix. Borrow a BOOTABLE copy of WinXX from a friend.

SHS is right, I need a win9x (dos ) boot system, so I can access DOS and install win98. win98 refuses to install from any NT OS I have CDR Win, it can make me a bootable CD if I give it a "boot image" I am now searching for sucha "boot image" on the net, based on win9x. I can make it myself with norton utilities but only if I have a floppy  So what I am looking for is a boot image for CD-Rwin to burn., furthwermore I had a win98se CD original but I borrowed it away and haven't got it back yet, it booted fine into DOS or win98se Setup, just what I needed. No, my computer wont have anything to do with a floppy drive it wont boot if I plug one in, yes I have tried different kables, floppy drives, different ways of attaching cable etc no go only way out is bootable CD! I wanto play games again my SB LIVe! dont work in my SMP system, only *****les
