What program do you use to burn a Tiny Core ISO in a CD-R?

I mean that 26-year old CD-ROM may have forgotten the tricks he was playing when it was young ;-) Have You an approvements that it is still able to do anything but producing some sounds?

Hello jazzbiker.
I tried that one but when I put the HDD back to the host and turn it on it displays:
SYSLINUX 6.03 EDD 2014-10-06 Copytight (C) 1994-2014 H. Peter Anvin et al
and sometimes stays that way forever. Other times it displays that message and then only a blinking cursor forever. I tried doing this with another HDD (in case that the original HDD were damaged) but it seems like I need to install some sort of driver to use it (it asks for some Compaq diskette that I don't have).
And about the CD drive: It uses a different connector than IDE, a smaller one. I don't think I have another motherboard with that smaller connector to plug it.
However, I think the Pentium II has an extra IDE connector, do you think I could use a DVD drive in that old PC? I'm sure I have an extra DVD drive arround.

So the behaviour of the original HDD and another one differs? Looks like an original one really have some problems.

At Your place I'd try another DVD drive if You are sure this drive is functional, but I have no predictions on the success, maybe old Compaq BIOS have its own vision.
You may try writing (dd-ing) the InstantCore.img (see http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,26658.0.html) to the HDD externally and then see whether Your PC will enjoy booting from it. This image is grub2-based and includes both CorePlus and TinyCorePure content, so if it will boot successfully You will get everything necessary for the kick-start.

Welcome to the forum.
Using cdr-tools.tcz , first identify your CD burner:
--- Code: ---tc@E310:~$ cdrecord --scanbus

Find the entry that contains CD RW or DVD RW.
In my case that is:
--- Code: ---4,1,0 401) 'Optiarc ' 'DVD+-RW ND-3570A' '104B' Removable CD-ROM
--- End code ---
The command to burn a CD is then:
--- Code: ---cdrecord dev=4,1,0 speed=10 padsize=63s -pad -dao -v -eject Path/To/Filename.iso
--- End code ---
--- End quote ---
I tried this method but instead of using cdrecord I used wodim, which apparently is a fork of cdrecord (which is not available in Debian repositories). I used all the arguments you suggested.
I got the same result as always. PC will try to read it but won't.

I don't think the original HDD is damaged, it's just that the PC won't even recognize the new HDD, it shows the capacity of the new HDD but nothing else. I think I need to install some kind of firmware to be able to use other HDD than the machine one. It shows a message asking for a floppy disk with Compaq software, which I don't have.
I tried plugging a DVD drive to the free IDE slot of the motherboard, and using an external power supply to power it. Nothing. The PC won't recognize it, It didn't show in the boot options. The drive was working, I tried it on other machine.
I didn't understand the last part, what do you mean by dd-ing the InstantCore.img? That sounds interesting.

It means that an image is written to the drive with the help of dd utility. As far as I understand You have Debian up and running. Are You not familiar with dd utility? Sorry, I didn't catch the question.
