I start msdos with grub or syslinux cdrom. I have a hp pavillion

to pxeboot yet. It did not like freedos. It is very finicky with
msft variants.

Simple, instruct your "cooking" (CD-burning) application to cook a
bootable CD and give it access (when it asks) to a location where MS-DOS
(or DR-DOS) bootable diskette files reside.
Done it in Nero, so I have a booting CD, and can give advice on this
subject.

Have fun.

Yeah! I saw that option on Nero. I wasn't sure how to do it. I did
burn one with the nero dr-dos, but it seems very limited in memory.
how can I start regular executables though? I like the usb support.
Can I get a bootloader to start dos?
