Hi!

I'm currently trying to learn things in a for me unfamiliar area of the computer world. I'm talking about the process of booting a computer and what really happens at that moment.

I've since some time learned and used the ability to boot from a floppy disk to do certain tasks like partitioning and formatting hard disks. Now I want to know more about what files are the critical ones that must reside on a bootable floopy disk. I 'm also wondering what version of DOS thats loaded when you boot from a floppy. What's the master boot record? OK, maybe the questions are to many to be answered here all at once so I stop there. Maybe someone can tip me of some URL where I can get indepth knowledge in the subject!
