This is a list of operating systems bootable from floppy disk.
Early microcomputer disk operating systems
Several floppy disk operating systems for microcomputers allowed live running from a bootable floppy disk, although this was considered to be the normal way to work rather than a special feature. Some earlier operating systems did not support a hard disk. Amongst others:
* CP/M and CP/M-86
* Apple DOS for Apple II
* MS-DOS itself and most variants and clones.
* OpenDOS
* FreeDOS
Linux Based boot discs
*tomsrtbt - A small distribution available on a single floppy disc (1.44 MB disc reformatted to a larger capacity)
Other Operating Systems
* MenuetOS - written in assembly for x86 and x86-64
