Make a Network Boot Disk

      You will need a formatted High Density (1.44 MB) or higher disk.

• First, you need to make the disk bootable. In order to do that, open a DOS command prompt and type
            sys a:             (where a is your drive letter)
• Next, you need to install MS-DOS Network Client onto your hard drive, and configure it correctly for your hardware.
• From now on, I will assume that you installed DOS Network Client in the C:\net directory.
• Now you need to copy all of the files in your C:\net directory into the root directory of your floppy disk.
       copy c:\net\*.* a:\
• If all of the files will not fit onto your floppy disk, delete setup.exe and then copy the rest of the files onto the floppy disk.
• Next, you will need to copy the config.sys and the autoexec.bat files from the root directory of your hard drive.
       copy c:\config.sys a:\
       copy c:\autoexec.bat a:\
• Now, you need to edit these files individually. To do this, type:
       edit a:\config.sys
  This will bring this file up in the MS-DOS Editor. I recommend that you delete everything except the lines that are similar to these:
       DEVICE=C:\net\ifshlp.sys
       LASTDRIVE=Z
  Now, since we don't want to be dependent on the hard drive with this disk, change the reference to C:\net to A:\   Your file should now look like this:
       DEVICE=A:\ifshlp.sys
       LASTDRIVE=Z
  Now edit the autoexec.bat file.
       edit a:\autoexec.bat
  You can take out as much of this file as you want to, but leave the NET START command. The minimum that should now be in this file is:
       A:\net start
• Now you should be able to use this disk to access your Windows95 & NT network. This disk should work on all computers that have a compatible hardware configuration.
• Now, you can delete the contents of the C:\net directory if you would like.
• You might also want to edit your config.sys and autoexec.bat files in your C:\ drive. Delete all lines that refer to the C:\net directory.
