Which files needed for bootdisk

[joeroni]

I have Windows for workgroups 3.11 dos 6.22
On a 486.I installed Tasktool.I used the "make system disk" and found that the only file on the floppy is Command.com
Is that the only file I need for a bootdisk.

Actually you need 3 files: Io.sys, Msdos.sys, and Command.com. And all 3 files present on your boot disk, but Io.sys and Msdos.sys have Hidden attributes so you can't see them with plain DIR command. If you want to see them use

DIR /AH

command.

Good luck, Igor

Depending on what you want to use the disk for see Boot Disk (http://www.geocities.com/politalk/dos/bootdisk.htm) for other files you may want to add.

To creat a bootable DOS disk insert a Floppy Disk into Drive a and type "format a: /s" which will create a bootable Disk, or download it from www.bootdisk.com (http://www.bootdisk.com)

Thanks people I"ve got a bootdisk now.
I didn't find Io.sys or Msdos.sys until I read what Igor M said about them being hidden.They didn't show up on this 486 but when I put it into my win 98 PII they were there.I guess Tasktool system disk works afterall.
