I want to format a device to be an MS-DOS boot disk but I dont have a floppy disk drive. Unless you show me one on ebay thats 5 dollars or less I cant buy it. I wanted to know If I could format another device, I have plenty of them for example SD, micro SD, flash drive some I don't even know the name of but If you know the name I would greatly appreciate it.

You could very easily create a bootable USB with dos with the old HP drive formatting tool/.
Depending on your needs, you might also be able to use freedos from a cd, or possibly install it to other devices from that.

You'll need to download the HP Flash Utility and the Windows 98 MS-DOS System Files.
Follow instructions listed on this site:

And next give a bit more info on which OS you are using, etc. I am going under assumption that you are using Windows.

HP replaced it with a new version thats inferior - third party sites are the only way to get it. – Journeyman Geek – 2012-06-18T15:38:43.353
