I am trying to FIGURE out how tocreate a bootable disk using the format command in the command line.

Please help.Win9x machines have a switch (/s I THINK) for the FORMAT command that will create a bootable floppy. There is also the SYS command that will accomplish the same thing...floppy must be formatted first.

On WinNT machines, right click the floppy drive in My Computer==>Format and make sure the option for a boot floppy is checked.

8-)I understand how to do it from the different OS's.... what I am wanting to find out.. is how do you do it from a straight DOS 6.22 machine. No, I do not have a dedicated machine running DOS 6.22. I NEED this for work. So far, I can not figure it out.

SFrom a DOS machine is EXACTLY like Win9x:

Run from the command line (prompt)

format /s /v:label drive:

Win9x is just DOS dressed in a fancy GUI or format a: /u/sNow what does the /s and the /u and the /v stand for?Please read the text under my picture, then click here.Thank you very much for all your help.If you have any other questions/problems, feel free to post again.
