Hello!!! I must say that I did this from Linux and without reading the installation manual (sorry, FreeDos).
1 - I downloaded FD14-FullUSB.zip. 2. I extracted the FD14FULL.img file. 3 - I formatted a 2GB and an 8GB (another 2 GB also works) pen drive to FAT32 with GParted and the boot option enabled (This may not be necessary but I did it) 4 - Then, I connect the 2GB pen drive to the PC and run the following command, replacing sdc with the correct one if it doesn't match the 2GB pen drive you inserted: dd if=FD14FULL.img of=/def/sdc bs=1M Caution!!! The dd command is dangerous if you choose the wrong drive. 4. When it's finished, I shut down the computer and connect the 2GB pen drive to boot from it. You may need to modify your BIOS to boot from a USB drive. Now I don't remember if I also connected the 8GB pen drive before booting or after. You'll have to try it. When the 2GB pen drive boots, the installation process begins after a few questions and installl FreeDos in 8 GB Drive. Very easy. Thanks, FreeDos!!!
