Hey guys I need help please

I have 2 3.5 Floppys I need to get onto a boot cd

How it works - I boot from Disk one it loads some drivers then prompts for Disk two, it then opens up a small GUI so that I can install an image from a network drive.

I need to convert that into one bootable cd but when I add the files from the two onto a CD and boot it does a few commands but then pops up a Dos prompt which you cant seem to do anythign with :(

Any ideas guys ?

pqdi
:End

A Temp File
autoexec
autoexec.txt
pqdi
and a few xcopy programs

The pqdi is the gui program that allows me to do what I want to do

Im guessing I dont need the auto exec from disk 2 at all some of it is redundant anyway it's mainly the first one but I cant figure out why it makes a prompt even after taking out the A:, Please insert disk 2 and Pause
 
when you get to the prompt, type in 'net use' enter, has the G: drive been mapped?

also at the prompt if you just type in 'pqdi' enter, does anything happen?
 
take the @ECHO OFF part off, so it shows you whats going on, what part does it freeze on? does not CTRL+C escape out of the batch file?
