Creating MS DOS boot disk for DOS Game

[A31Chris]

Have just bought Wing Commander III. DOSBox users seem to have trouble running it still.

So as a fun exercise and something I've never done before, I want to run it from a DOS shortcut using a DOS boot disk according to the instructions.

Step 7 of the boot disk instructions wants me to go to a DOS prompt and type cd\ to change directory. ok good.

Now it wants me to copy c:\config.sys c:\config.osi.

I'm suppose to get (1) file copied. Instead I get (0) files copied.

The next step goes well.copy c:\autoexec.bat c:\autoexec.osi.

But the first step is a no go. I looked on my HD and there is no config.sys. to copy.

The system I am doing this on is a Deskpro EN P733 running new install of Windows 98se.

Video card is an ati All In Wonder radeon 9600xt.

CD drive is a Samsung CD-R/RW SW-224B

Sound card is a SoundMAX Intergrated Digital Audio.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. This should be fun.

Was wondering if info in this site would also be useful for this:
