Making a bootable floppy

[Bob&Corinne]

When I create the autoexec.bat and config.sys files and put them on a
formatted /s floppy the config.sys loads the device 'oakcd' but the
autoexec.bat file c:\microsoft\command\mscdex.exe /D:mscd001
does not run successfully.

This is not the correct group for this question, this group
concentrates on MS Dotnet.

Briefly you should have lines like:

Config.sys
DEVICE=SBIDE.SYS /D:IDECD01 /P:170,15 /V

Autoexce.bat
MSCDEX /V /D:IDECD01 /L:N

i.e. the device name in Config.sys and Autoexec.bat must match.

If that doesn't help you should look for a DOS or Windows 98 group who
will be able to give more help.
