hello all,
I don't have a floppy drive and my pc won't detect my usb based cdrom drive.
Can I install freedos onto a usb drive and then onto my hard dive from the usb
drive?
I extracted the freedos cdrom image onto the usb drive and that did'nt work
properly.regardsGabriel

FreeDos for a usb drive?

There is no USB image because USB sticks all
have different sizes. But there are
If you do not have a CD drive for your PC, then it would be useful to buy a
USB CD or DVD-RW drive. It is always useful, so it is not a waste of money. You
can use later for a lot of interesting things. And it is not very expensive,
around 100 RON in Romania, so 32 dollars.
