Stephanos, we have answered this question for you already. It is the same question as your BIOS question. No, you cannot. DOS does not support USB directly. You can't access USB devices from DOS without configuring drivers. We told you this already re the BIOS update. (There _are_ some drivers, for USB 1, for _some_ chipsets, but they are difficult to configure. If you have to ask, you can't do it.) But if you boot FreeDOS from a USB key, the BIOS emulates a hard disk for DOS and it will work. This is the same answer as your BIOS question. -- 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
