If you have any version of Windows follow the below steps for your version of Windows.To create a MS-DOS diskette, begin by getting to the DOS directory by typing:cd\dosOnce at the C:\DOS directory, skip to copying files....Copying additional filesNOTE: When making a boot disk, if you are running "Stacker" or some kind of a DoubleSpace or drive swapper program, this could not work Once you are in DOS and at the correct directory as instructed in the above sections by operating system, you are ready to create your bootable diskette. Insert a diskette that does not contain any information (it will be erased).At the prompt, if you have MS-DOS 6.2 / Windows 3.x / Windows 95 / Windows 98, type: <a href="http://www.computerhope.com/formathl.htm" target="_blank">FORMAT</a> A:/SIf you have MS-DOS 5.0 type using double density 5.25" diskettes type:<a href="http://www.computerhope.com/formathl.htm" target="_blank">FORMAT</a>  A: /360 /SIf you have MS- DOS 3.11 through 4.0 using double density 5.25" diskettes, type:<a href="http://www.computerhope.com/msdos.htm" target="_blank">FORMAT</a> A: /4 /S Once the diskette has been formatted and the system has been transferred, you should be returned to your original directory.

The MS-DOS mouse driver is generally mouse.com / mouse.sys. Locate this file and copy it to your bootable diskette.For CD-ROM support, visit our CD-ROM drivers page for information on loading your CD-ROM driver.Once you have copied the above files, create an <a href="http://www.computerhope.com/ac.htm" target="_blank">autoexec.bat and a config.sys</a>. Get to the floppy drive by typing A:, once at the floppy drive, type:copy con autoexec.bat [PRESS ENTER]@echo off [PRESS ENTER]LH A:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:CDROM [PRESS ENTER] (this line is used for your CD-ROM drive).LH A:\MOUSE.* [PRESS ENTER] (skip line if you did not copy mouse file, the * is either sys / com).Press and hold CTRL + Z - this should return ^Z. Once this is displayed, press enter to copy the file.copy con config.sys [PRESS ENTER]device=a:\himem.sysdos=high,umbdevice=a:\emm386.exe noemsfiles=30buffers=20devicehigh=a:\oakcdrom.sys /d:CDROM (this line is used for your CD-ROM drive). Press and hold CTRL + Z - this should return ^Z. Once this is displayed, press enter to copy the file.Congratulations, after completing the above steps you should now have a bootable floppy diskette.</blockquote>
