I used the GNU utility "dd". It comes with every distribution of Linux,
FreeBSD or whatever.
It allow you to do things like put disk images onto drives.
The correct way to use it for the FreeDOS USB image is this:
First you unzip the image:

Well you can definitely do it with one bigger than 2G!

May I suggest installing FreeDOS to a USB flash drive. That is to one
of those little USB pendrives/ USB keys.
I don't mean installing from a pendrive, I mean installing *to* one.

Hello Felix,
I'm terribly sorry that you've encountered this. This is exactly the
reason why I mess with FreeDOS' installer only in a backed up,
virtualized environment before I update it in a live, baremetal system.
What is exactly your use case for over 20 logical partitions? I see a
