   Sure, I do it all the time.  I use HP's USB Drive Format Utility which   
   allows you to create a DOS boot disk using whatever DOS system files you   
   have handy (for example, on a bootable floppy).  I've used MS DOS   
   6.22/7.0/7.1 and a version of  PC DOS that escapes me at the moment.  I   
   generally use FAT16, but FAT32 works as long as the DOS version   
   understands it.

   Probably, but I've not tried.

   Just boot into Windows and copy files to/from the USB stick, or use a   
   DOS that understands NTFS (is there a DOS that can?).
