Quoting Felix Miata mrma...@earthlink.net: On 2014-07-12 12:03 (GMT-0700) Dave Stevens composed: I need to make a bootable DOS disk and don't see how. I have a computer that needs a BIOS update. Instructions are to make a bootable DOZ diskette, boot from that, run the manufactorer's update program and the BIOS update will be copied into the ROM. But! the smallest boot diskette I can make doesn't have enough room for the update program and the BIOS image. You don't need everything on one floppy. Put the BIOS image on a separate floppy. After booting, switch floppies, then flash. You don't have to use a floppy. All you really need is any boot disk that doesn't load drivers or other fluff into RAM during boot. If you have an extra HD, create a small DOS partition on it, do format C: /S, put the flash program and bios image on it, boot from it without any AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS, then flash. I don't have a spare hard drive to use. I tried rufus and it ALMOST does what I want but seems to be set up to install freedos on a drive. I don't want that. I'd like to make a bootable USB flash drive that boots to an A: prompt with lots of space. Changing diskettes to the one with the flash program and bios image fails for some reason when changing diskettes. Ideas?

[Freedos-user] newbie help?
Hi, I need to make a bootable DOS disk and don't see how. I have a computer that needs a BIOS update. Instructions are to make a bootable DOZ diskette, boot from that, run the manufactorer's update program and the BIOS update will be copied into the ROM. But! the smallest boot diskette I can make doesn't have enough room for the update program and the BIOS image. I think it might be possible to make a bootable Freedos CDROM but haven't seen instructions on how to do that. Can anyone refer me to a description of how todo that? Or a bootable USB disk would have lots of room too, I'm happy to have advice.

(This is normally a BIOS option, where you would select the USB device as the first thing to try to boot from.) If so, you might be able to create a bootable USB with DOS and your BIOS image, then boot from it. yes it will and that would be my preferred option but I don't know how to make a bootable DOS usb drive.
