Default Making a boot CD

I have a set of 2 diskettes - one of them is bootable.

I would like to make a boot cd from these 2 diskettes.

I tried Roxio Easy Media cretor-- but it allows only 1 diskette to be
used.

I tried to copy ALL the files from these diskettes to Cd, but hen it
is not bootable.

I made images (using Roxio) as ISO, and copied them to Cd, but still
not bootable

My questions are
1) Is anyway to make a bootable cd from 2 diskettes (NOT multiple
boot)
2) is there a way to combine 2 images into 1

It depends a lot on how the software on the floppy works. As a general
approach, I'd try this:

- Get WinImage (30 day evaluation) from http://www.winimage.com/.
- Read the first, bootable floppy into WinImage.
- Change the format of the image to 2.88MB.
- Add the files from the second floppy to the image.
- Save the image to a file.
- Use that image file in your CD recording application.
