If Linux counts as "a more powerful/modern" OS I yet haven't failed to make a bootable USB key. It may require some brute force like wiping the entire disk out with zeros and then start from scratch - partitioning, putting on a MBR, formatting and eventually put Syslinux on it. But for updating a BIOS (Free)DOS is fine unless you have one of those new fancy boards.
