First time here.

I have been trying every DOS USB Driver web site and help desk and I keep getting the same result. I have used the USB DOS driver mentioned here on several pages. I have been to bootdisk.com and used the DUSE driver. I get the same results.

When I boot from the disk, the DUSE driver loads, then it asks for location of COMMAND.COM. This file is on the A: drive. It is like it no longer knows that the A: drive that I booted from is there.

Thanks for your help.

As I said, I tried all of this, and after it loads the DUSE driver, I get an error:

"Please specify the location of COMMAND.COM."

It happens whether I use DUSE or any of the other drivers listed on these pages that you linked for me.

COMMAND.COM is on the diskette. I see it there when I look at the diskette in Windows, or in DOS when I boot without the DUSE driver. It appears as though the DUSE driver makes the USB floppy drive unreadable.

Hello have you tried your PC/laptop manufactures web for compatability issues your computer may experince?

No, but it happens on both my desktop and my laptop.

Hi there,

You didn't state why you needed to use a DOS USB device driver, however I will make the following comments;

1) Did you check with your motherboard manufacturer to see if there is an updated BIOS that will allow boot from USB?

2) Did you consider using a tool such as Bart PE? Bart's Preinstalled Environment (BartPE) bootable live windows CD/DVD

Thanks for all of your help. I finally got it to work by getting a 2.5 to 3.5 IDE adapter. It finally booted in XP, and I was able to transfer the data to my desktop, and then burned it to DVD.

Cheers.
