That is a very very extreme thing to do. You deleted the whole partition table that way... I see no reason why that would be of any help regarding your original problem that after you installed GRUB, you could no longer boot DOS. You could have instead used the sys-freedos-linux script (sys-freedos.pl) or a DOS based SYS tool... You can also use GRUB4DOS or GRUB to boot DOS, too :-). > and then I fomatted again the drive with a FAT filesystem. > > The problem now is that I can access the drive from Windows and Linux but I > can't access it under FreeDOS.

You probably formatted the DRIVE as FAT instead of formatting a PARTITION on the drive as FAT. Please partition your flash drive before formatting the partitions on it, so DOS can give drive letters to the partitions.
