Thanks for the info. . .so I just need to sys the usb stick? That works
with Msdos as well? I thought I had tried that before. . .the main
issue I have is that I need to be able to boot to it and run ghostcast

good success,
Hi Michael,
My own issue is that I can create a stick which either boots as a big
floppy (A: via USB-ZIP) or a hard drive (C: via USB-HDD), but I can't
seem to switch back and forth between the two types after I'm done.

As I understand, this is not possible: diskettes do not contain MBR,
disks do. And these
No, fdisk /mbr writes an MBR (and master boot record)
to the disk. The easiest way to format as superfloppy
(remove the MBR) is to boot a linux Live CD and do
mkdosfs -I /dev/sda
NOT mkdosfs /dev/sda1
(This assumes your version of Linux will recognize the
device as /dev/sda and will reformat

If you go to the following ling there is a zip file
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1disk/
bootfd/
1) unzip the file some place like c:\bootfd
2) insert diskette in drive A:
3) run install.bat script
4) Copy you program and set it up as you would normally.
