BTW, I would have thought that you could write a FreeDOS image to your USB drive using dd in Linux.
Im still pretty green with Linux so when I was trying in to write the FreeDOS I tried MX Live USB maker and UNetbootin so I still have alot to learn.

The only suggestion I have for resolving the truncation bug is to find a BIOS update, or check whether Express Recovery can be disabled.
I did check to see if they have a BIOS update that allows me to disable Express Recovery but had no joy.

As for booting a USB drive, you can either format your USB drive as a "Super Floppy" or a removable HDD. In the first case sector 0 contains a boot sector whereas in the second case sector 0 contains an MBR partition table. It may be that your BIOS prefers one particular format.
I will check out the boot scheme for the FreeDOS and see how it is setup. I take it that I can do with GParted time to learn a bit more thanks for your help.
