SINGLE OPERTAING SYSTEM

Using sys command Sys is used to copy the system files from one drive to another drive, allowing that drive to be bootable. When running sys, the below files will be copied. command.com io.sys msdos.sys drvspace.bin SYNTAX Copies MS-DOS system files and command interpreter to a disk you specify. SYS [drive1:][path] drive2: [drive1:][path] Specifies the location of the system files. drive2: Specifies the drive the files are to be copied to. EXAMPLES sys a: - If you type this from c drive and if you had a formatted disk in the drive, this would copy the system files to that disk making that disk bootable. ADDITIONAL INFO The sys.com file must be ran on the drive that contains the system files and the sys.com file. If you're running from the hard disk drive this command is commonly located in the C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ directory on Windows 95 / 98 / NT / 2000 or in C:\DOS\ directory on Windows 3.x / DOS. This command can also be ran from a bootable diskette assuming all the necessary files are on that diskette.

To resolve this issue, boot from a disk that has sys.com and command.com on the disk, type sys c: from the A:\, remove the disk and reboot the computer.
