DOS

Top  Previous  Next

FlashBoot can install DOS to USB thumbdrive and make it bootable. You can use this option to quickly test FlashBoot without supplying external data (OS installation CD, ISO image file etc).

 

Minimalistic DOS created by FlashBoot also contains Volkov Commander: a file manager for DOS, formerly shareware, now defunct.

 

DOS on USB thumbdrive is useful for upgrading BIOS on your notebook or motherboard (just add latest BIOS file and vendor-supplied flash update utility like AFUDOS). Also it can be used for running DOS applications and games without emulation.
