What exactly are you attempting to do?
Unless you bought a FreeDos version PC, without an OS, all you should need to do is follow the setup in the user manual completely then turn it on.
Once it has booted to Windows, you can complete the setup and register it for the factory warranty.
Normally a desktop or notebook boots from its boot disk, which is usually a legacy HDD or SSD, not a flash drive.
