>If I remember right -- copy sys a: c: is what makes a drive bootable ( >floppy to hard drive )
FORMAT A: /S is what makes the drive bootable. If the /S option is not included, the drive is made usable for data storage, but not for system residence. Following that with COPY A:*.* C: will copy all visible files from A: to C: Including the /S option on the COPY command will copy any subdirectories. A drive may only be made bootable at FORMAT time as much of the DOS system is "unmovable". -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
