Under DOS, use sys to transfer system files and get three files: command.com, msdos.sys, io.sys. Set the boot item in BIOS to USB-ZIP, but still can't boot. Then format /s in DOS to format it again, still those three files, still can't boot. Also, msdos.sys only has a few characters like ;format. Is it a problem with this file and other issues? Then, what is the principle of booting, for example, CD-ROM booting.

Make bootable disks with specialized tools.
I also have it on my cloud disk.

Set the boot option to USB-ZIP in BIOS ????

No, hahaha, you're just kidding too much...

If you can't find USB-HDD, even the gods can't boot from the USB drive.

The building owner needs to make up for DOS.

USB-ZIP in BIOS refers to the ancient ZIP drive, not your USB flash drive.

There are three types of USB flash drive booting:
USB-FD
USB-ZIP
USB-HDD
The first two are both floppy disk modes
If the BIOS supports it and the USB flash drive has the above modes, it can be done

USB-ZIP in BIOS refers to your USB flash drive. This mode simulates the ancient ZIP drive (ZIP is also a kind of floppy disk). If the BIOS supports USB-ZIP boot and the USB flash drive has this mode, it can boot.

Oh, the kind with a switch? Langke 64M?

Although it's durable, it's too bulky...

Nowadays it's all 1G small ones, the width of two cigarettes. Where can I find a switch?

Don't corrupt the children. Although the intention to let them learn new things is good.

Using WinImage to write a .img file to a USB drive is okay. But your USB drive needs to support booting. If you don't know if it supports, you can try .usbzib, usbhdd, usbfdd and several of them.

winimage, USBOOT, FLASHBOOT, etc. can all be used to make a USB flash drive into a bootable disk. The key lies in which of the three modes, USB - ZIP, USB - FDD, and USB - HDD, the BIOS supports.

Can we manually partition a USB flash drive and set the partition containing system files as the active partition?
