Autoexec.bat, command.com, config.sys, drvspace.bin, io.sys, mirorsav.fil, mirror.fil, ms dos.sys
The above file is put into my disk to make it booted! HOw to make these fail into my diskette? Cannot copy one by one by copying!
I got a Qbasic program which can loaded automatically which mean when my computer boot for systen disk, I put in my qbasic program and it will open my qbasic automatically! Can anyone who is computer genius here answer my question? I got a bit confused! How to make it! PLs tell me how to make it!Thanks!
Sorry again if it is unclear!
My Qbasic program have these extra files with my qbasic program!Autoexec.bat, command.com, config.sys, drvspace.bin, io.sys, mirorsav.fil, mirror.fil, ms dos.sys
When I open my computer, I put in my diskette and it will boot my diskette and start my qbasic program!
Every computer can also be done using this diskette!
Why I know how to make this?

i c you are posting this again...u say u want to make a bootable disk, and to also at the same time boot up your qbasic program? but later on in the post you say you have a disk that does this? what are you trying to do here? don't understand

I think you are asking how to make a floppy boot to Qbasic. If so, this is what you do:
Format a floppy as "Copy system files only"
You then need to make an autoexec.bat file to add to the floppy. This must point to the folder containing Qbasic, then execute Qbasic.exe
If Qbasic.exe is in c:\program files\qbasic
make a text file in Notepad containing the following
@ECHO OFF
C:\
CD C:\PROGRA~1\QBASIC
QBASIC.EXE
@ECHO ON
Save this onto your floppy as autoexec.batIf Qbasic is somewhere else you will have to
make the third line show the proper path,
which must be in short filename form
(program files = progra~1)I have used this method to make a floppy boot directly to GWBASIC. Let me know if this is
what you wanted and if it helps.

Ya! Your steps work but when I exit cannot exit!
I still have a folder call data which use to store data of qbasic! If I exit using my program in the diskette, it will exit then to my data folder!May I know how to do then?

If I understand what you want, add this as the last line in autoexec.bat:
a:
This will leave you at the floppy drive when you exit.
