Default is there a simple way to boot to dos off a usb?

As the title says, is there an easy way to boot into dos so i can flash my gpu.

My floppy drive has packed in, and i havnt got a clue how to get the dos system files onto a usb stick and boot.

Because you cannot click on format - make bootable disk like you can with a floppy.

Yeah, just about any burning software should be able to make a bootable CD.

Use an RW.

The Rs are pretty cheap anyways, so either way.

hmm, the nero idea is out of the question. Just tried it and it asked for a bootable floppy disk to create an image of the files, and my floppy drive doesnt work lol.

You set the bios to boot from the memory stick, I've done it with DSL.
