Christopher, I spent hours yesterday trying to make a bootable USB to update the BIOS. Using Unetbootin, it would boot then hang. Using dd on an .img file also had problems. I will try to visit a Windows user later today and get back to you. I have made lots of bootable USBs in the past (iso files) so I don't know why FreeDos is so hard :( Jamie
