How to make boot-up disk?

I have a IBM 486 and cannot get a C: or A: prompt. Every time I try to make a boot-up disk, message reads, "this is not a boot diskette" Can you tell me how to make from "scratch" a working boot-up floppy disk. Please don't leave out any steps or files I will need. I have the MS DOS 6 setup disks and a later version of DOS on another fully operational computer. Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I already replied to your last question the forum, but you not said there you have DOS 6 setup disks. If you have such disks, the 1st setup disk must be bootable, and you must be able to boot from it, run Setup, and reinstall your DOS system.
Good luck, Igor M
