Magic Boot Disk v2
Having needed to be able to boot to DOS to flash my BIOS I tried several boot disks unsuccessfully before I got to MBD v2.
So, first, thanks for getting me going when others failed - but I wanted to report what happened.
Booting up from the CD I'd burned was fine except when I chose to use the USB support option (3) - after installing USB drivers or allocating memory (I forget) - it hung at the stage of Installing USB devices.
Retrying, I didn't hit (3) fast enough and went into the default option (2) and then found on typing C: that it read the USB stick that had been inserted prior to booting.
So, right result, wrong reason perhaps - but thanks anyway for a utility that worked.
