Solve : NON SYSTEM DISK OR DISK ERROR?

Answer»

halo everyone

My problem is...I started to image a HARD disk and that hard disk CONTAINS two OS..
the QNix and the DOS..
When I copy the DOS using xcopy C: D: /s command it was shown in the directory that all files were copied...but when I boot it up it was NON system disk or disk error...

The qnix OS is working...only the DOS has a problem..

Is there someone who can help me...


Thanksxcopy C: D: /s /h

Try it again with the /H switch to grab hidden system filesYou cannot simply copy an OS and expect it to run...won't work.
You could try this but no guarantees:
Place the first DOS FLOPPY in and at the prompt type sys\D: and hit Enter
Then see if it will boot but i doubt it.that's right XCOPY will help you move files, but the IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS (or IBMBIO.COM and IBMDOS.COM) files must be located in the right location on the disk. you just need to run SYS from a floppy with that version of DOS installed ONTO the drive in question, as stated above.
