    Although help function alleges I can create an MS-Dos boot disk by using Format command on file menu, there is no such command. Using command menu inside Windows, I would like to know what the Format and add system command is.

    Place a floppy disk in the drive bay and open Windows Explorer or My Computer. Right-click the A: drive and select Format. You will be presented with a context menu that has several choices. Choose the bottom one that reads "Create MS-DOS start up disk ". Follow the screen directions to create the finished disk.

    These disks have limited use with the advent of the NTFS file system.
