Here is a link for Windows PE. Even though it is written for Arch Linux, it works basically the same on openSUSE. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Windows_PE On Thu, Jan 15, 2015 at 3:04 PM, Roger Oberholtzer <roger.oberholtzer@gmail.com> wrote:
You can also do this with the Windows PE (pre-execution environment) which is freely available from Microsoft. It is even possible to make the bootable images from this using only Linux tools.

A rather old-school but effective method, I have made a Windows 98 bootable recovery USB (The same way you made the FreeDOS one) and have all of the BIOS utilities on this one USB.
I have used this for flashing and updating / Changing DMI information on Intel, Dell, MSI and Phoenix motherboards.
The reason for windows 98 is that some of the tools by some manufacturers only run on MS DOS and not FreeDOS.
That's what I was considering doing with my old WinME machine - making a boot disc with it. But in the end it seems the information I'd read about requiring BIOS update A17 isn't accurate. The A15 version I have is probably sufficient to avoid the specific issues I was concerned about, so I'm going to leave it as it is.
