Hi
(1) I need to know how to make a 3.5 floppy so that it will be self booting
using dos commands only. (2) I have an autoexec.bat file that automatically
starts another batch file named name.bat within this name.bat file it has 3
individual files when the floppy is used as a self bootin disk it run the
autoexec.bat which intern runs the name.bat it displays the 3 files but I can
only see the last one because it displays each file going down. I need to see
the 3 file on the screen at the same time. If possible have all 3 going down
but all equally spaced within the screen. If in the worst case scenerio I
need to see the 3 file on one screen.
Thank You

How to use System files to create a boot disk to guard against being unable to
boot in XP. Remember, WindowsXP is not DOS based, it only has a DOS
emulator. XP recognizes autoexec.nt as its bootloader.

Go to www.bootdisk.com and download a boot disk.

NTLDR (NT Loader) is Windows XP's bootloader.

Boot Loader Phase

Startup Phases for x86-based Systems
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prmc_str_reii.asp

autoexec.nt is NT's equivalent of the autoexec.bat that earlier versions of
Windows used.
autoexec.bat told the operating system which application programs were to be
automatically started, how memory was to be managed, and to initialize other
settings. Windows 3.x was actually loaded from autoexec.bat.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
