This is a revision of an earlier memo. As the original memo was written in 2006, lots of tools are unavailable now or not runnable on Windows 7 64 bit.
My goal is to create a bootable USB stick, which can launch the machine in DOS mode. The reason is that I usually use SAVEPART to backup my system partition, which is a DOS program.
The new procedure is much easier.
- Inatall HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool, and use it to create a bootable USB disk. You can download it here (CNET). (Ref: HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool - v2.1.8) (A local mirror)
- Copy the needed utilities (e.g SAVEPART) to the USB stick. (Ref: Partition Saving: save and restore partition).
- (Optional) Copy MS-DOS utilities.
