You must first format your hard disk with the /s option in order to copy the two MS-DOS hidden files on to the hard disk. This will also copy the command.com file into the root directory. Now boot without a disk in drive A and the computer will boot from drive C. The only reason I can see for using the SHELL= option is if you put your command.com file into a different directory, such as \bin. You would then need to put the following line in you config.sys file. Shell=\bin\command.com or SHELL=c:\bin\command.com NOTE: If you also load you MS-DOS utilities into \bin, you will need to set your PATH environment.
