It is possible. Win98 and Win2K CDs are bootable and CD burning software like Easy CD Creator can make bootable disks.

The critical factor here is that the BIOS for the target system must suport boot from CD.

You can create a bootable CD with the OS of your choice copied onto it.

It is possible. From control panel>add/remove software>start up disk, you can easily create a floopy disk which will provide startup options. Also, as mentioned already, all windows install disks are bootable.
