The main reason I want Freedos is to flash my hard drive with the latest
firmware. I assume that the hard drive cannot be found for this purpose
without legacy ATA support. I suppose unnecessary drivers (or worse necessary
ones?) can brick a hard drive too?
I wonder if it would be better if

Here is my autoexec.bat file below. Note it has uide.sys and shsucdx already.
I don't know if the options are correct for my system, though. The last time I
messed with DOS was about 15-20 years ago when I didn't have a CD Drive, let
alone a DVD drive. By the way, it plays Blu-ray disks too,
I figured it out. "USB Operation Mode" at "High Speed" interferes with Freedos
installation and USB flash drive booting. "ACPI Suspend Type" at "S3" also
interferes with Freedos installation. I haven't actually installed Freedos
yet, but I can get a listing of the partitions on the hard disk w

I need to reinstall Windows anyway, so I thought I'd try installing Freedos

In case you missed it, I am talking about a flash drive. Also, when using the
howto mentioned in the previous post, I used Ubuntu 14.04 LTS which has a
highly invasive and unsupported modification of SYSLINUX called gfxboot.

I got to the point where I got a blinking cursor in the top left corner of the
screen when booting Freedos. I decided to try booting from two other computers
and from what I can tell, Freedos works on the other two computers.
On the computer where Freedos isn't working, there aren't a whole lot
