This only works if you have the files from a boot floppy, have a floppy drive to make the files or something else. I've searched for over an hour now on google for the needed files but they are not to be found. I did find half a million utilities to make boot floppies if you have afloppy, but who has a floppy drive in this day and age?

    You can always download a floppy image from somewhere like bootdisk.com, and use a floppy drive emulator to extract the files (there are several I've tried that worked fine - look for either "filedisk" or "vfd"/Virtual Floppy Drive).
    If you use a floppy emulator, you can even use windows to format that disk and extract the files, so you don't need to grab an image from bootdisk.com
    Good luck!
