| boot disk error msg cmd line interpreter missing
I created a floppy boot disk on a Vista Home Prem with the gui and another with cmd line (format /s). Both create the same error.
"Command line interpreter is missing (i.e. c:\windows\command.com)"
Then it goes to a a: prompt where no commands work. I get no errors when creating the boot disk, only when I try to use it.
Help!

Bloom County | If you have no C drive (or it is unformatted) then it is trying to find the command.com file on the C drive that either does not exist or the file is not on the C drive hence the error. |

| It has a bootble c: drive , I was trying to test my bootdisk and it failed.
What is the easiest way to make a single disk, startup disk. I only need cmd line access by floppy to the hardware, not the file system.
My diag apps are cmd based for windows cli.

Union, SC | Have you copied command.com to the floppy? It may not automatically copy to the disk when you format it.
