Thank you for the detailed answers! :-)
Now I already have a  *.img file , it's came from " dd if=/dev/sdc 0f=*.img" in 
Ubuntu , and sdc is a usb flash . I want to write the *.img to the same usb 
flash in freedos to make a linux bootalbe usb flash , do I have a simple way?  
I tried the "rawrite" " diskcopy"  , they are all for floppy disks. 
Hoping for your answer, thanks so much!
