Solve : Trying to create a bootable thumb drive with DOS OS?

Answer»

Does anyone know how to create a THUMB drive that will boot into DOS 6.22?

The DOS installer only wants to install to c:\ and their is no mounting support for USB DEVICES since 6.22 was way before USB.

A friend told me to create an ISO of DOS 6.22 and copy the ISO to the thumb drive, but he himself never created one, but only heard of this method and havent seen it done. I have seen it done for Linux Distros, but not a MS OS like DOS or Windows.

Any ideas or utilities to make this work???

Thanks,

DaveDo your computer support booting from USB devices? If not this will be an exercise in futility.
If it does here are some METHODS you can try:

And if it does as DeerPark asked i'd SUGGEST Method #5 from his link...I used method 2 (HP utility) on that page to make a PEN drive bootable with MS-DOS 7 and I can use the whole of the space on it.
Good to know that method works as well...
I used a crude brute force method myself and it wasn't pretty.......
