msdos

[joe may]

In windows xp when i made a msdos startup disk and try to
use it to start the system in dos. It gave me an error
message saying I O error replace disk. I think i have a
bad msdos boot sector. could someone tell me how to fix
this problem?


thanks Joe

Hi Joe.
If you made the boot disk from Windows XP, there was either an error when
the disk was created, or the disk has bad sectors. Either try to create the
disk again, or try creating a boot disk using a different floppy.

In XP, you boot from the CD. There is no DOS in XP.

Throw out that floppy diskette and create a new MS-DOS
boot diskette.

Diskettes cost pennies and aren't worth trying to fix. Just make
a new one.
