The Bios on the Dell machine clearly offers USB as a boot option. I

of the way through the cold boot process before it halted. I don't
know what a service tag is since, except for that particular machine,
I've assembled from scratch every PC we've every had since 1986. The
Dell apparently originally ran MS Vista.
Each and every Dell computer has a unique service tag which identifies
it (as in being able to look up it's exact specs and drivers), usually
on a sticker in the back (or back of the top) of the machine,
sometimes together with the "Express Service Code" (ESC), which does
not really have a use)
My wife's computer is also running Win 7 (32 bit) and I tried
VirtualBox. Again I could not get FreeDos to install and load.
I am running FreeDOS in VirtualBox on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit just
fine....

This box has what looks like it may have been a tag on top at the back.
There's just some stuck paper there now as if something has been
removed. On the back there is a bar code tag with D711D7 in the middle
of it.
