Default Using Flash (Thumb) Drive via Floppy Boot Disk

You're talking about a DOS OS, and I don't think they make drivers for flash
drives to support DOS. Thus, you would need to find a different operating
system that can boot from a CD and support flash drives. (I don't think
anyone has a floppy-based system that supports flash drives, but I may be
wrong.) Off the top of my head (which doesn't remember much these days), I
know of one such OS:

Hi,

Has anyone used a flash drive ("thumb" drive) after booting a computer
using a floppy boot disk (A: drive)?

Note: Windows is not launched. I want to transfer "stuff" from C:
drive
to the flash drive.

Thanks in advance, Brad
