My Dell 2400 doesn't have a 3.5 floppy drive. How do I make a cd that
contains a program split on 2 floppies ( Ex. insert disk 1...then insert
disk 2 ). I can make the first disk by making a bootable cd but when prompt
to insert the second disk ...that's where I'm having the trouble,

thanks,

See if you can remove that prompt from the first floppy. It must be in
the form of a script file or something like that.
If that's possible then you can copy all the files from both floppies
and it should work in a continous process. Sounds
good to me but maybe it's not that easy.

Well normally you will copy the contents of all the install floppy disks into one folder on the cd. Then run setup or install and when the install program from that folder. Sometimes it will automatically find disk 2 or at the least you will have to type the path to the folder on cd. Hope this helps you out.
