I believe the names of those files are: IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS and they have to be listed as the first and second files respectively in the root directory. ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2017 5:02 AM Subject: Re: [opensuse] Very basic dd question On 2017-03-02 13:53, Wols Lists wrote:

Your Win3/Dos system - that shouldn't need to be a direct clone?
Can you format the new disk? One partition, fat16, make it bootable, make sure the disk has got an mbr.
Copy ALL the files from the old disk to the new with a "cp -a".
Or with mtools, mcopy, because it should copy all msdos attributes. You just have to be careful not to overwrite the two inmutable or unmovable files - sorry, I don't remember the names, and they can vary a bit.
