A USB flash drive is a temporary storage device. It has nothing to do with DOS or Windows. It is simply a device you can store data on. As long as you have a USB port you can save something to it no matter if it is DOS or windows. For instance, let's day you plug in your USB device and it shows up as d:drive. If you did the command copy funny.doc to d:. Then the file would be copied over to the USB flash drive.

How can you run compact disk in DOS?

To run a compact disc in DOS, first ensure your computer recognizes the CD-ROM drive. Use the command D: (or the appropriate drive letter for your CD-ROM) to switch to the CD drive. If the CD contains an executable file or a program, you can run it by typing the file name followed by pressing Enter. If necessary, navigate through directories using the CD command to locate the executable file.


Will DOS programs run on modern laptops?

Yes, although there are various technical limitations that may come into play. For instance, not all DOS applications will run properly in a Command Prompt on Windows. The Command Prompt in Windows Vista and Windows 7, for instance, can only run text-mode DOS applications. 64-bit versions cannot run DOS applications at all. The best workaround is to use DOSBox, a DOS emulator, to run any applications that will not run in the Command Prompt. As for "native" installations, it is still possible to install and run MS-DOS and applications on modern computers, although changes may need to be made in the BIOS to enable hard drive access, and modern sound cards are incompatible with virtually all DOS programs.

I don't know if this is the answer you are looking for but I used to run from a 32gb flash drive. It loaded a lil slower than from HDD but not bad. I didn't install directly to the flash drive. I copied the folder from the computer to the flash drive.
