First of all hi 😀
What i wanna do .
I want to make a bootble USB flash drive to put all old dos games in .
BUT the problem is i cant transfer the system files to the USB flash
(sys.com isnt working)
Any ideas ?
Thx for reading

don't use dosbox to create it.
lowlevel stuff like placing bootable files isn't supported with regular mount. you might want to imgmount the whole drive. but I doubt that this is supported n the windows version of dosbox
Water flows down the stream
How to ask questions the smart way!
I have tried every possible way (at least i think i have)
If you boot from plain dos you cant see the USB flash
If you use Dosbox you can sys anything
> If you boot from plain dos you cant see the USB flash
Okay. Now - assume that you manage to make a bootable USB flashdrive, that boots into DOS..... Since DOS can't see itself, how can it see itself?

Your bios must support booting from usb. Mine doesn't have it. Other than that, it's perfectly feasible.

Yeah, should be possible to make it boot Linux and then run DOSBox from there.

I think you're missing the point. I think his idea is to boot to real DOS. He was only using DOSBox to transfer the system to the USB drive, but I don't think that DOSBox has the SYS command. Perhaps this should be in the DOS or PC forum.
