I have a weird problem. I have a Sony Vaio laptop with an external cd/dvd-rom which connects in the pc-card (pcmcia) interface. I don't have the real-mode driver for that drive, so when I boot from a standard win98 startup disk, or any other startup disk I could find on the net, for that matter, it won't be recognized by the system. Even if I configure the bios to start from the cd-rom, it will start from there, but it will try to load the standard atapi/scsi cd drivers (with no success of course) and then the drive will get recognized as a: drive but only files in the boot sector will be accessible
My question is this: I need to make a restore disk for the system and I know it is possible because it came with such a cd set (not for the OS I need though ) which works when booting from cd. Also, booting from a Win2k setup cd works. However, in the ghost guide on this site, the hidden assumption is that I have either an atapi or a scsi cd-rom to boot from. Hence, the boot disks are all with real-mode atapi/scsi drivers. Now what can a poor guy like me do when Sony will not even return my emails requesting the driver, let alone provide me with a rescue set for the OS I need? 
Pleeeeeeaaaaassssseeee if anyone knows how to make a bootable cd of an image which will be recognized by that stupid computer I will be forever at his/her debt.
The computer is a Sony Vaio PCG-Z505JE with a CD/DVD-ROM PCGA-DVD51.

I can't make it clear for Sony that they suck because they do not even reply to my emails. Their reps in my country are total dickheads. But thanks for the offer.
Regarding the guide on satCP's site, the problem of lack of real-mode driver for this device is not solved there.
The funny thing is that when I boot from a Win98 setup CD, it will get a drive letter (a: ) and I can see a list of files similar to the list of files on a boot diskette for Win98. I cannot see the rest of the setup folders and files which are only accessible from DOS/Windows in regular fashion (i.e. when I insert the CD in windows). Also, the files I can see when booting from Win98 setup CD are NOT accessible from Windows! which leads me to the conclusion that they are in some kind of a boot sector or something like this. It is similar to the rescue CD's from Sony which are totaly inaccessible from windows (probably because all its material is on this "boot sector" ).
Anyway, thanks for the effort, and if you have any other idea, I'd love to hear it.
