Your boot disk lacks the file(s):
format.com or sys.com or both. These files must be on your boot disk
in order to carry out the above command(s).
You need a complete boot disk in order to complete most of the basic
functions in DOS to prepare a PC for formatting and installing an operating
system. You can download bootdisk IMAGE files from our web site that
will create complete boot disks for your operating system at:
