PS: im talking about a WIN98 boot disk

also: if u dont know where i can download a boot disk, i know u can make one urself with like command.com and a few other files, can u tell me what files those are, so i can just copy them to a disk


i DONT need a boot disk that has CD Drivers, it just hasta be able to do "format c: /s"

just for those who want to do it manually but forget how. you need a system that can boot on it's own, a dos prompt, and attrib.exe.

copy command.com, io.sys, and msdos.sys to a floppy drive.
type at the dos prompt "attrib +s msdos.sys"
type at the dos prompt "attrib +s io.sys"

reboot using the disk to verify that it's a system disk now. it'll ask you to verify the time because there is no config.sys yet.

you can then create your own autoexec.bat, config.sys and copy the needed files to the disk like format, fdisk, etc.

Most 98 win bootup disk have cd drives so you can run the cdrom from dos. So you can reinstall windows.Why don't you need the cd drives. Just wondering.!;) You can also make a bootup disk with out cd roms drives by just formatting the floopy in windows and clicking add system files. this will make a boot disk to.
