Well, at present. If FreeDOS sees the USB drive as drive C, it should be able 
to install there. The new installer does not really care
about the disk type of drive C. With a few exceptions, Drive C must not be 
flagged as remote or removable by the booted operating system (FreeDOS).

If you want to see if it passes those tests, download the latest V8Power tools 
from http://up.lod.bz/V8Power and run:

vinfo /v/dC

replacing C with A, B, X or whatever drives status you wish to find out about.
the message ‘Drive is ready” means it is flagged as a normal hard drive that is 
formatted.
