I want to make a DOS boot disk, CD version, to use when the system drive (C drive) is damaged or cannot boot, so I can boot DOS from the CD and then format drive C. That is the only requirement. Please recommend one, preferably with a download link.

Hehe, just download any DOS boot disk from this forum or online, and 99.9% of them can meet the OP's requirement (of course, this means formatting the C drive as FAT32).
So there's no need to recommend a download link again, right?

I want to burn it onto a CD. It looks like most of them are made for floppies. I want one that can be put on a CD, so please help by giving me an address.

I don't know how to install the one in the second reply, so please help me find one that can be put onto a CD, and then under DOS I can just do a simple FORMAT C： I won't give up, will never sink

Hehe, seeing how persistent the poster above is, it would be impossible not to be moved.
Here is a CD image file that can satisfy the simplest requirement, hope it can be useful.

Question, brother, after burning this file to a CD, why can't I see it? The CD capacity shows 1.45M, but there are no files inside. Please enlighten me.

Hehe, because what you want to see was written into the CD's boot area. You can put two or three megabytes of stuff there.
