Okay, it looks like Microsoft has
decided to make it very hard to make a boot disk under WinME. They have removed the
SYS
switch from the
FORMAT
command, and the
SYS
command can only work your "
C
" drive. The
SYS
switch or command transfers the files needed to a floppy disk or hard drive to
make them boot-able. It looks like the only way to do so is to use WinME's "
Startup Disk
" creation tool. To use it do the following:
|
Go to start | settings | control panel |
add/remove programs | startup disk.
Just click on the Create Disk button.
Your new startup disk will provide
CD-ROM support for most CD-ROMs, but you will only have around 450K of free space left. After you've made your startup
disk you can then remove all of the files on it
except
the following:
|
-
COMMAND.COM
-
IO.SYS
-
MSDOS.SYS
This will give you a bare-bones bootdisk.
See here for adding other files that you may want to
have on your Bootdisk. As always, it's also a good idea to have a Startup Disk in addition to your system Bootdisk.
