Every Computer Owner or user should have a boot disk, a floppy that will boot your computer, should the hard drive fail to boot. You need this disk before the failure. It is easy to make one either from Windows or the C Prompt. The disk should be bootable, contain many utilities, along with the 2 CD drivers to recognize the CD Drive. The disk must contain the following as a minimun: IO.SYS MSDOS.SYS COMMAND.COM FDISK.COM FORMAT.COM SYS.COM MSCDEX.EXE EDIT.COM HIMEM.SYS YourCDDriver.SYS Config.sys AUTOEXEC.BAT SCANDISK.INI SCANDISK.EXE
