It is used to make an already formatted medium bootable. It will install a <a href="/wiki/Boot_sector" title="Boot sector">boot sector</a> capable of booting the operating system into the first logical sector of the volume. Further, it will copy the principal DOS system files, that is, the DOS-<a href="/wiki/BIOS" title="BIOS">BIOS</a> (<a href="/wiki/IO.SYS" title="IO.SYS">IO.SYS</a> or <a href="/wiki/IBMBIO.COM" title="IBMBIO.COM">IBMBIO.COM</a>) and the DOS <a href="/wiki/Kernel_(operating_system)" title="Kernel (operating system)">kernel</a> (<a href="/wiki/MSDOS.SYS" title="MSDOS.SYS">MSDOS.SYS</a> or <a href="/wiki/IBMDOS.COM" title="IBMDOS.COM">IBMDOS.COM</a>) into the root directory of the target. Due to restrictions in the implementation of the <a href="/wiki/Boot_loader" class="mw-redirect" title="Boot loader">boot loaders</a> in the boot sector and DOS' IO system, these two files must reside in the first two directory entries and be stored at the beginning of the data area under MS-DOS and PC DOS. Depending on version, the whole files or only a varying number of sectors of the DOS-BIOS (down to only three sectors in modern issues of DOS) will have to be stored in one consecutive part. SYS will try to physically rearrange other files on the medium in order to make room for these files in their required locations. This is why SYS needs to bypass the filesystem driver in the running operating system. Other DOS derivatives such as <a href="/wiki/DR-DOS" title="DR-DOS">DR-DOS</a> do not have any such restrictions imposed by the design of the boot loaders, therefore under these systems, SYS will install a DR-DOS boot sector, which is capable of mounting the filesystem, and can then simply copy the two system files into the root directory of the target.
