Need to run SYS C: from the system (boot) floppy disk to restore IO.SYS
Example:
a:> sys c:
The SYS.COM file is found in c:\WINDOWS\COMMAND directory. You can make a
boot floppy disk containing this file by opening MyComputer and right
clicking on 3 1/2 Floppy (A:) then selecting Full format (under format type)
and Copy System files (under Other options:). Reboot your system with this
floppy in the A: drive then type the command sys c: to restore (create) a
new IO.SYS file.
You might need to remove the hidden system file attributes so you can delete
the IO.SYS file in C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\EBD before copying the new one you
created from the root directory of C:
WINBOOT.SYS is just the IO.SYS renamed when you boot the system into MS-DOS.
So after creating the new IO.SYS you can dlete the old WINBOOT.SYS file. You
may need to shoe hidden system file attributes to dlete this file. Reboot
the system in MS-DOS mode and you should then create a new WINBOOT.SYS file.
The attribute command is use to clear the system attribute so you can delete
the file. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click MS-DOS Prompt. At
the command prompt, type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each
command:
C:\WINDOWS\ cd\command\ebd
attrib -s -h -r io.sys
delete io.sys
attrib -s -h -r winboot.sys
delete winboot.sys
