im not sure about this so dont be mad if it doesnt work...
anyways...umm just pop a disk in your a: drive (or whatever drive letter your floppy might be) and go to "My Computer" and right click you floppy drive. then select format. when the format window comes out, select the "make disk bootable" (or something with bootable in it) and format the disk. after the computer finishes writing whatever its writing onto the disk...you should have yourself a bootable disk (remember...i said should)
I don't claim to know anything about everything, I just tell people what I know.
-PSB
Go to DOS prompt and type "format a
s". This will effectively give you a bootdisk, although all you get is command.com, drvspace.bin, io.sys & Msdos.sys.
Add to that scandisk, autoexec.bat, config.sys
This gives you a half decent bootdisk.
