Sure. Just find a bootable DOS CD image and modify it.

Or use a bootable USB key and put the files on it like you would a floppy.

FlashCD (http://bootdisk.com/canada/flashcd.zip) from BootDisk.com (http://www.bootdisk.com)

I've used it before it works perfectly. You'll have to have a way to add files to an ISO image though. WinRAR, UltraISO, ISOBuster.. one of those will work.

When booting from a CD it often assigns it a different drive letter, particularly if there is a RAMdisk involved. If you decide to give the old board another shot you might check that out.

Good luck with the new MB. :)
