How do i create a bootable system floppy disk from the DOS prompt without creating "AUTOEXEC.BAT" and "CONFIG.SYS" files. The place that said i could do this says that i have to type "format a:/s", but /s is an invalid parameter. I need to figure this out cuzz im going to flash my bios.
If you need a bootdisk, try www.bootdisk.com.
That format statement only works with Win9x/ME and older OS's.Quote:

Do as XP18004life suggested and go to BootDisk.com and grab DrDOS 7.x. It makes perfect boot disks to use for flashing your BIOS. :D
If you're using DOS or Windows 9x/Me, you can use the FORMAT A: /S command or SYS A: . If you're using Windows NT, 2000, or XP, I'd suggest you go to www.bootdisk.com .
thanks for the help....now lets hope i can flash my bios right.....
