Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hello,

I have a bootable 1.44" floppy disk with a hard disk repair program.  It boots to FreeDOS.

The newer BIOS no longer has a setting for booting from a USB floppy drive (A:)

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi:

 

You may have to disable secure boot and enable legacy mode in the BIOS if there is no USB FDD listed in the F9 boot options menu.

 

See this link for the settings to change.

If your notebook does not have a legacy boot option, unfortunately you won't be able to use the program.
