I have Windows 7 ultimate on my computer.I tried to make a Ms-Dos floppy disk from the menu format on my floppy drive.But when I start my computer with this floppy on my drive it went on Ms-Dos mode.Then when I typed C: for my hard disk drive or E: (ms-dos command) to change drives it didn't recognized my DVD and HD and the message :Invalid drive specification appeared.I don't know if it had the DVD and hard disk drivers inside or my floppy wasn't on NTFS format.
Can anyone give me a solution how to make this start-up floppy disk recognize my DVD and hard disk drive?

It seems like the issue you're facing with your startup floppy disk is related to the drivers being loaded or recognized properly when booting into MS-DOS mode. To resolve this problem and ensure that your DVD and hard disk drives are detected, you may need to take the following steps: 1. Ensure Proper Drivers: - Check if your startup floppy disk contains the necessary drivers for your DVD drive and hard disk. If these drivers are not included on the disk, you will need to add them manually. 2. Add Drivers to Config.Sys and Autoexec.Bat: - You can add the drivers for your DVD drive and hard disk to the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files on your startup floppy disk. These files are crucial for loading drivers and...

If these drivers are not included on the disk, you will need to add them manually. 2. Add Drivers to Config.Sys and Autoexec.Bat: - You can add the drivers for your DVD drive and hard disk to the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files on your startup floppy disk. These files are crucial for loading drivers and initializing devices during the boot process. 3. Update Config.Sys: - In the CONFIG.SYS file, you need to add lines to load the necessary drivers. For example, if you have a CD-DVD drive, you might need to add a line like DEVICE=CDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001 (the specifics may vary based on your hardware). 4. Update Autoexec.Bat: - In the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you can add lines to initialize and configure the drivers loaded in CONFIG.SYS and set the paths for your drives. 5. NTFS Format: - Ensure that your hard disk is formatted with a file system that MS-DOS can read. MS-DOS typically works better with FAT or FAT32 file systems rather than NTFS. 6. Troubleshooting Device Recognition: - If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to troubleshoot by trying different drivers or troubleshooting steps specific to your hardware configuration. By following these steps and ensuring that the necessary drivers are loaded on your startup floppy disk, you should be able to boot into MS-DOS mode with your DVD and hard disk drives recognized correctly.
