If you are OK to go with FreeDOS then I recommend rufus[^] that can create a bootable FreeDOS usb stick for you with a few clicks.

Windows7 does not contain DOS any more. You can boot to Windows7 SafeMode Console which will do much the same, but this requires you to use the F8 key at the start of the boot sequence - immediately after the POST and before Windows starts to load normally. You can then select "Safe mode with console" from the boot list.

If you need "real" DOS, then look for a "MSDOS6 Bootable CD" - there are several on the net which Google will be able to find for you. However, most of them are probably in violation of Microsoft copyright.
