SYS B:
COPY COMMAND.COM B:

bootable by copying the COMMAND.COM file.
MESSAGES
Cannot SYS to a network drive
You cannot use SYS on a network. Pause the fileserver and then
issue the SYS command.
No room for system on destination disk
There is not enough space for the system files on the destination
disk. Format a new disk with FORMAT/S and then reissue the
command.
No system on default drive
DOS cannot locate the system files to be transferred. Select a
disk that has the DOS files on it and try again.
NOTE
The target disk must either have an empty root directory,
have been formatted with the /S option of the FORMAT command, or
have been formatted with the /B option of the FORMAT command. If
you use the SYS command on a disk that has not been properly
formatted, you may lose data from it. The SYS command does not
copy the COMMAND.COM file, which is required to make a disk
bootable.
