MarJor,

Are you aware that this is an MSX (retro home computer system) forum?

Marjaor, I assume that you have
  • a Windows ME PC with a 5"25 diskdrive, and
  • an MSX with an 5"25 drive.
In that case all you need to do is
  • format a disk on your MSX,
  • find a copy of MSXDOS.SYS and COMMAND.COM on the internet and
  • copy these files to the disk you just formatted
That's all there is to it!

I have found that if i have run out of 3.5" disks, if I fold 5.25" ones in half then they work fine!<JOKE!!!>

Please do not try this at home, or any other place!
