Bart's way to create bootable CD-Roms (for Windows/Dos)

Clean Bootable CD-Rom (for BIOS upgrade)

People ask me if it is possible to create a bootable CD-Rom to update/flash their BIOS, on a system that has no floppy disk drive. I realize that some new PC's nowadays also don't have a floppy drive so this problem may affect more people in future... I have re-done this CD, so that it will be easier to use (single download package). It uses an updated version of BCD and BFD.
This Clean Bootable CD-Rom can be used for flashing your BIOS or other programs that need to be run from a "clean-booted" Dos operating system.

The steps to create are:

   1. Download Clean Boot CD package v2.0 (596KB) and unpack it into any directory you like.

   2. Add your own files, needed to upgrade your BIOS, to the cds\clean\bootdisk\ folder. You have about 2.5MB available space on the bootimage (the CD uses 2.88MB floppy emulation). Do not add your files to cds\clean\files\ folder!
      Optionally you can edit the file cds\clean\bootdisk\autorun.bat and append a line to automatically run your flash program.

   3. When you're done customizing, run "build-clean.cmd" to build your ISO image and burn it to your CD writer.

Warning: Use this Clean Bootable CD-Rom at your own risk!
