I've noticed that I cannot sys a floppy anymore. Even the function has been deleted from the Format GUI and the sys.com file has been removed from c:\windows\command. What's the simple to make a boot disk for WindowsME? It's a pain when I need toupdate the BIOS or any other time when a boot disk is needed. I know I can get the sys from another OS but that's not the point. How does MS propose we create this necessary item?

Thanks for the website. What I really wanted though was the location of the system files to create a boot disk.

In c:\windows\command\ebd,

only copy the following 2 files onto your floppy disk:

command.com
io.sys

and it will work
