Hi:

 

The only suggestion I can offer would be to see if this link is of help to you.

 

The FreeDOS Project

 

The only reason HP sells PC's with FreeDOS is for folks that already have Windows licenses and product keys to install Windows on the PC, or they want to use Linux.

 

That saves the customer a small amount of money for buying a notebook with a Windows operating system they don't need.
