I'm having trouble getting a 16GB flash drive to configure as freedos-based bootable. I have made literally dozens of 2GB and 4GB bootable drives with freedos with FlashBootWizard, but it seems to fail on larger ones, by shrinking the partition down to just over 3GB.
The HP flash formatter utility won't recognize freedos as a valid source of DOS startup files for making flash drives bootable. Has anybody had success with this? I've done a ton of internet searching over the last few days, and found lots of "bootable flash drive" links, but most of them are MS-DOS based, and therefore limited in size. The others I've found for freedos don't seem to work with my flash drives. The other option would be to divide the flash drive up into two partitions, but I haven't been able to do that successfully either, apparently because windows won't allow a removable device to have multiple partitions. If somebody knows a utility that will do that, I'd love to see it as well... I'm using PNY Attache flash drives. Thanks!
