IO.SYS contains all the information needed to start your computer and eliminates the need for the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files because the values in CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT are in IO.SYS instead. Both of these files still come with Windows for older applications and drivers that need them. Removal of the IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS files may prevent the creation of a DOS boot disk. Since these files are needed to boot to DOS.
