![]() Now, your expectation is that Rufus can create an MS-DOS bootable USB if you provide your own version (as an ISO, or something else). Rufus cannot be used to create an MS-DOS bootable USB drive except a Windows Millennium one, if you are running Windows 8.1 or earlier, and, because the demand for such a feature is exceedingly small (at this stage, I have to point out that the amount of people who have been able to claim that they have found a genuine flaw in FreeDOS that forces them to use MS-DOS currently stands at exactly zero, as most of the "issues" that people have with FreeDOS only have to do with a slightly different way to handle AUTOEXEC.BAT/ CONFIG.SYS or menus, which is easily addressed and does not constitute a DOS incompatibility), I have no plans whatsoever to ever add that functionality as I have 100% confidence that FreeDOS can always be used in lieu of MS-DOS. The only way I would ever consider adding this feature is if the following conditions are met: Ms dos 6.22 iso download windows 8.1# You can demonstrate that you have found an actual incompatibility between FreeDOS and MS-DOS (rather than a "belief" that there may exist one, which, in years of being subscribed to the FreeDOS mailing list I have yet to see).The FreeDOS developers indicate that they are unwilling to address this incompatibility.Short of these two conditions being met, I will respectfully request that you either use FreeDOS (which, again, I have yet to see fail compared to MS-DOS in terms of compatibility) or another utility than Rufus. Ok I got it working with an old IBM Thinkpad. Get the Dos6.22 IMG file from here as you already did.With RMPrepUSB (I'm using v.2.1.739) select File->Drive.Go through the prompts and let it put all the files from the ISO onto the USB stick.Copy ALL the files on the USB stick to somewhere on your hard drive (these should be the only files in the folder)."In the Copy OS files from here" section, put the folder that you just copied all the files from the USB stick to.In Sec.4 select FAT16 on the left, and "Boot as HDD" and "Use 64hd"**.(Make sure the checkbox next to "5 Copy OS files" is checked).Select 6 Prepare Drive and follow the prompts.It will partition, format, MBR, bootsector and copy the files to the USB stick. Is complete, hit Eject Drive and remove USB stick. ![]()
