Hi!
An USB flash drive was made bootable for FreeDOS with the tool 'HP Drive
Key'. Booting from that device works well if the BIOS supports USB booting.

Hi Michael,
- C: was accessible thanks
to the BIOS driver anyway :-p.
Yes.
If so, why did it become inaccessible when
you loaded the DOS USB driver??
I don`t think it would happen with a normal harddisk.
Well you loaded a driver which created a new int13 gateway

Hi!
In case anyone is interested, we have an article on the FreeDOS site
about USB from a BIOS engineer. It's a good read (and short) and
explains why USB hard drives are hard to support properly everywhere,
while USB floppy and keyboard/mouse is easy:

SpinRite use freedos to run. When you boot SpinRite it boots into freedos.
That's the operating system he uses.

Small remark, if you still like to fiddle with USB for DOS I advise this

driver I need myself.

Also the DR-DOS wiki has very good informations.
Thanks very much! I'm certainly interested in any drivers that folks
here have used successfully.
Cheers,
