Like the title says. Is there any way to burn a bootable install of Win 98 (or 2000 or XP for that matter) with a bunch of drivers onto a DVD that I can use in a system without a hard drive? I could use a temporary HDD to set Windows up with all its drivers & software, and then burn that whole config to a disc, but I'm not sure what needs to be on there in terms of system files to make it bootable, or how not to make Windows throw a hissy fit.
I could even see sticking a RAMdisk & copy script in the Autoexec.bat so it has somewhere to write files to and use as scratch space. I have way more SDRAM and DDR than I have spare HDDs. 😜
Basically I want to roll my own "Puppy Windows." This seems like it should be possible; anyone done it?
