No floppy, I tried CD (booting SpinRite) testing a disk drive for bad spots.  
The CD/SpinRite does boot on a Dell laptop & desktop.

What have you tried? CD? Floppy? USB? Hard disk?

Does your machine have a traditional BIOS or only UEFI (hopefully with CSM)?

Worst case scenario, you can run an DOSEMU atop Linux or a different
emulator (e.g. VBox) atop a different host OS.

I need a little more information.
I have two HPs (HP Elite 8000 SFF and a DC-5700)
The 8000 is in SATA mode for W10 so I have to use the HP/Intel
AHCI.SYS driver to "see" the hard drive. The other is in IDE mode and boots
with no issues.

[Freedos-user] Booting FreeDOS on HP desktops?

[Wayne Dernoncourt]

Does anyone have any advice about getting FreeDOS to boot on an HP desktop?  I 
get a message about "Init..." and then nothing happens.  I've been trying to 
get this to work for a two or three months but I haven't had a chance to fool 
much with this for the past three or four weeks.
