Whether this works will depend upon your BIOS. The box I have FreeDOS on will boot from a USB floppy drive, but *not* from a USB stick. BIOS limitation. I can't see a USB stick from FreeDOS either, because no driver is available that can do it. (I've looked at the USB drivers for FreeDOS, and they don't handle the method the box uses.) ______ Dennis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
