Or Ventoy, which is quicker and easier than any of them.

interestingly to me, you don't mention the trusty old `dd` ... :-)
Have you tried looking for a BIOS update?
I have, but the HP support website does not respond to the "Presario
427" search query. Maybe it would
I realized after post that the link to TinyCore I had given is mark as not
secure under Firefox. (not distributed over https)
(I don't believe it to be much dangerous) but wanted to give an alternative.
So I tested (on Ventoy USB key):
I suggest:
https://ventoy.net/en/index.html
(one of the advantage of Ventoy, is that in lower left, it shows if it booted
in Clasic mode, or in UEFI mode)
Use it to make your USB key "Ventoy"
Try it by copying

Plop (www.plop.at) helps to boot legacy usb, it works in laptops with ancient
usb ports, maybe works with your setup. The only problem that I found is that
freedos starts in read only mode.

So, that computer came with Linux, and it has a GPT partition scheme. Do
you think it would help to convert it to a msdos partition scheme? I mean
in theory it should boot regardless?

The bios in my machine has a section called "boot override" which works in

at least on my Dell notebook there is no such *setting*.
instead I have to hit F12 while booting, this then sends me to a "select boot
device",
where I can tell it to boot from USB

I found Rufus to be the best option for creating a bootable usb drive for
freeDOS in all my trials.
Booting to usb on any system can be a challenge.
I know on one laptop we have it is a Windows 10 (originally Windows 8) it
absolutely refuses to boot into ANY usb unless we remove the hard drive.
Eh... I tried every single BIOS setting that might be even slightly
relevant. I created the USB sticks with the programs which are recommended
for me to use. I ordered 3 USB sticks of different brands. I devoted 24
hours to make this work already. If the new sticks don't work, I think
I'll,
Hi! Not all USB sticks are enabled for booting. And maybe it is disabled
in your BIOS setup. The MBR of the stick may matter as well, and whether
you boot UEFI style (not possible with FreeDOS) or classic style ;-)

Thank you Bob and @Norby Droid .
I am aware of that, I didn't just copy the files to the USB stick. As I was
trying multiple methods, I used a variety of programs to generate the
half-a-dozen bootable drives that I tried. I used:
- Balena Etcher
- Rufus
- Untebootin
- Win32DiskImager.
I'm
Post ls -l of your usb drive.
As Jim mentioned, you can not just copy the .img file to a formatted usb.
You have to burn the image to the drive to make it bootable.

On the download page, try gettin the floppy version. On real hardware ya
may need to use an external drive, or built-in cdrom/drdrom drive if one is
available. Also ya need to go in your bios and make sure that the usb is
setup as your first boot item. Find the key for your bot options, i
Thanks!
Yes, that is the image I downloaded. I did extract the image from the zip
file (FD13FULL.img). It is plugged in before boot.

To confirm, you're trying to boot the USB installer:
