Thank you very much.
I managed to put to together a bootable USB with FreeDOS on it. Testing with QEMU (virtual machine) shows that it boots and that all files are there, but as soon as I want to physically boot my laptop with it, i get a blank screen. As a matter of fact, after some testing it seems my laptop always shows a blank screen when legacy boot is required even though 'legacy boot' and all related options are enabled in the BIOS. Resetting BIOS and changing settings doesn't seem to help.
Any idea what is happening?
I am assuming it's just a graphical error when using legacy boot. Could you walk me through the user interaction required after i type in 'flash.bat'+ENTER as you would a blind person? ^^'
edit: Or perhaps there is a way to flash BIOS from inside Windows 8.1?
