I must ask, does your computer system have BIOS (Legacy boot) or only UEFI/EFI?
FreeDOS does not support UEFI, only BIOS since FreeDOS uses BIOS for
the built in drivers, for example for hard-drive access.
If your system support BIOS then it would be easy to use syslinux(usb
This BIOS cycles through both. First UEFI then legacy. I was able to boot a
FreeDOS USB disk no problem.
Spending the day with the client, I have convinced them a FreeDOS USB flash
disk is a better approach and avoids a hack implementation to doing something
from WinPE. Thanks everyone.
Booting WinPE from a USB flash disk. I rather not say anything more about
board or project.
I remember sys. What zip file is the sys.exe utility contains in?
There is also a download for FreeDOS lite with a FD12LITE.img file. What is
this file how does it get installed? Is this another CD

The is no described way to do what you want (or at least no that I know
of). But is should be possible.
Windows is able to create DOS partitions and format them (FAT16 for
FreeDOS). If Windows does not want to create the partition you need,

Is there a method to silently install FreeDos from WinPE to an internal
drive of a computer?
All I see from the downloads are .img files i.e. fs12lite.img. How does this
