The FreeDOS 1.0 ISO is all you need. Write it to a USB key, not a CD. Then check it boots. If it books, copy the Dell BIOS upgrade onto the USB key. Boot, use F5 or Shift to bypass CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT completely, and run the update. No need for an optical disk at all. Don't waste it. No external drive needed either. -- Liam Proven – Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk – gMail/gTalk/gHangouts: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn/Flickr: lproven – Skype: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 – ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
