First, you need to understand the booting process well enough to
understand what needs to be copied and how. This is probably as good a
place as any to start with is

and

http://www.os2brasil.com.br/guos2br-l/1999/Oct/Msgs/l2w85774.html

Next, you need to extract just the diskette image for Jan's dfsee ISO.
This will be a bootable FreeDOS diskette image. You dfsee to sector copy
this to the start of the flash drive and see how well it works.

Regards,

Steven
