Hi Oliver,thank you for all your suggestions.
I created a primary dos partition with Fdisk, formatted C and the copied all
files in BOOTDISK in C, but then the command SYS C: is not recognized,
probably becase the setupdisk.144 that I used to make partitions does not
include appropriate files for SYS command. I tried to use a boot disk I
found in internet, in this case the command is accpted but when I restart
the CEPC it does not boot(I set boot sequence C,A,..)
I am quite ignorant as far as MS DOS is concerned, so my error could be
something stupid.....
Thank you again!!!
