If I remember right -- copy sys a: c: is what makes a drive bootable ( floppy to hard drive )
<< Just sticking a copy of command.com on a disk won't make it bootable. >>
Quite correct.
There are two "invsible" files on a bootable DOS volume, and, in addition,
the boot blocks contain the "bootstrap loader" (an admittedly archaic term ...
on the System/390 and compatibles, this was called "IPL Text", but the concept
was the same ... resided in the first two physical records on the drive, too).
Get a copy of DR-DOS from http://bootdisk.com/
Look for "DrDOS 7.x Disk For BIOS Flashing Basic - No Drivers".
From that, you can probably bootstrap the installation of WIn31 at least, and
perhaps Win95.
