I want to create some bootable USB Flash Drives as per below.

  1. Windows 10 Legacy BIOS (MBR) Bootable MS-DOS 6.22 USB Flash Drive that boots up to a DOS prompt, has access to MS-DOS commands including Diskpart and can access a non-bootable computer HDDs.

  2. Windows 10 UEFI (GPT) Bootable MS-DOS 6.22 USB Flash Drive that boots up to a DOS prompt, has access to MS-DOS commands including Diskpart and can access a non-bootable computer HDDs.

  3. Windows 10 Legacy BIOS (MBR) Bootable Windows 10 USB Flash Drive that boots up to a menu to include various System Utility Tools: MiniTool Partition Wizard, Hirens BootCD etc and even MS-DOS if that is possible. Then we can ignore 1 above.

  4. Windows 10 UEFI (GPT) Bootable Windows 10 USB Flash Drive that boots up to a menu to include various system Utility Tools: MiniTool Partition Wizard, Hirens BootCD etc and even MS-DOS if that is possible. Then we can ignore 2 above.

I have researched the internet and have tried some programs including rufus, Universal-USB-Installer, YUMI, Partition Guru but still only having little success in doing so.I am also a bit confused with some of the programs steps involved in creating a bootable disk and copying MS-DOS and programs to the USB.

I have had partial success in creating a bootable DOS USB Flash Drive with rufus and PowerISO MS-DOS IMAGE that boots up the USB Flash Drive to its DOS Prompt but I do not have access to any DOS commands

I also have had partial success in creating a bootable USB Flash Drive with YUM-Multiboot USB Creator and loaded MiniTool Partition Wizard. MiniTool Partition Wizard appears in the Multiboot folder of the USB but does not show up in the USB BOOTUP MENU.I have tried several times in the above attempts but still no joy…

Could someone please direct me to the best software to create the above bootable USB Flash Drives (1-4) and explain (in simple terms) the various steps involve if the software description steps are a bit vague.My apologies in advance if I have posted my thread on the wrong forum.

Looking forward to your replies….Gary
