Removing Virus on old DOS machine

I have five old 386 and 486 DOS machines, that do not have CD-ROMS or USB ports, only floppy disks and hard drives. I have been trying to find a way to create recovery disks to clean some boot secotr viruses off of them, mainly the anti-cmos virus.

I found this option in the knowledge base Article ID: 10030

but it doesn't have the same files and folders it refers to for creating the recovery disks. Is there any information or details someone could help me out with to find the files it is referring to in getting the floppy disk recovery disks created without a CD?

Hello PaulS,
guess you should contact Support (assuming you are a customer) as suggested in Disinfecting boot record viruses. The READESD.TXT suggested in 10030 "loops back" to the very same article for the first way to create a floppy disk set and the other three refer to the Sophos Anti-Virus CD
