Hi Ciro,
I'm not sure I understand your question.
If you want to make an installation boot disk you will find a README file in the
dosutils subdirectory on your Mandrake Installation CD.
This shows you how to do this from Windows.
I notice on one of my machines which does not allow booting from CDs, that, if I
enable the windows option to run the CD on insertion, I will start up a little
graphical program which makes a Mandrake bootdisk.
Does this help?
Cheers
John
