How to without a floppy

Nuked · 2 Mar 2006 at 21:25

I'm using partitionmagic 7 and I'm trying to make some rescue floppy disc's but my floppy disc drive has gone **** up, some new PC's come without a floppy DD so how do you make a rescue disk without a floppy DD, I'm hoping the answer will be CD or DVD, but how?

Help

Thanks MNuTz, I’ve managed to write the rescue files to a USB memory pen but I can't boot from it, I’ve had a look in the CMOS and BIOS setup and can't see anything obvious, I tried a few different first boot scenario’s but no luck yet, what should I look for and/or change.

Thanks

It's no strictly a USB pen, it's a USB thingabe wotsit pen type card driver thing that I just inserted my 1gig MMcard in, is this the wrong thing to use or should it still work?
