Why install to HDD? Why not just use a bootable USB as if it were your HDD? > I have a notebook without optical drive. > The notebook has Windows 10 certification. That's not very specific.

The normal way to install DOS is: fdisk (create DOS partition), reboot, format (FAT), sys (create boot sector, adjust MBR, copy kernel and shell if needed). You don't really need to do any other fancy methods. But again, if your USB is booting and working and has DOS on it, why bother with HDD at all?? P.S. Is your notebook completely barren? Does it have no other OS on it? Have you tried installing anything else on it? Is that what you're really trying to do, using FreeDOS at a means to help install something else? Or is that the problem, that it "only" has Windows 10? (You know you can also install FreeDOS under a virtual machine, right? It's not hard.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
