  How to make a bootable diskette for your current OS.
     
  Windows 95/98/Me
   

You will need a diskette, and Windows may require your Windows installation CD.

1) Insert a diskette into drive A.

2) Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel, then select Add/Remove programs.

3) Select the Startup Disk tab, and click on Create Disk. This will walk you through the process to make the bootable diskette.

   
  DOS (and Windows 95/98 manual method)
   

1) Insert a blank formatted diskette into drive A.
 
2) At the C: prompt on the hard disk (for DOS) or from the Run menu (in Windows), type sys a: and press Enter. This makes the bootable system disk. (You can only boot from drive A unless you use System Commander's boot from drive B feature).

3) After the sys command has been completed, you should copy the following files from your hard disk to the diskette: sys.com, fdisk.exe, format.com and attrib.exe.

For example, if you currently have DOS, the following commands (specified in bold) would be used:
 

   
  C:\ > sys a:

C:\ > copy \dos\sys.* a:

C:\ > copy \dos\fdisk.* a:

C:\ > copy \dos\format.* a:

C:\ > copy \dos\attrib.* a:

   
    Note: For Windows users, these files are usually located in the \WINDOWS\COMMAND subdirectory.
