I agree that booting to a live Linux instance would be a better solution
here. I've had to do this many times and honestly it doesn't really
matter what live image you use. Mint is fine. I personally prefer
Ubuntu MATE or Xubuntu but it doesn't really matter. It should give you
access to the Windows drive through the file manager (both graphical and
CLI).

+1 on the Linux Mint recommendation. Out of all the Linuxi I've personally
tried, I've found Mint to be quite user friendly and I would say it's a great
place to start for those more familiar with a Windows-like interface.

Dear All
I want to boot to freeDOS using a CD ROM. Then I want to insert a
memory stick into the computer and copy a file from the Windows HDD onto
the memory stick. Is this possible and if so which version of freeDOS
do I use?
If you are talking about any Windows newer than Windows ME, simply
forget about this route.
Use a Linux Live CD (I personally would recommend Linux Mint 20.1 Mate)
and use that one instead...
