I tried it. Under XP, the only drive it would open was physical disk
2 (which is my second internal IDE drive). Apparently the c: boot
drive is not shown or permitted.

That seems to be the problem. Even if USB DOS driver were put on a
DOS boot diskette, I don't think it would work. Because, as you said
most sector editors are designed to work on physically attached IDE
drives, not perform disk i/o over a usb bus to an external drive.
