Testing bootloader on real hardware

Question

I have created a simple 'hello world' bootloader in assembly.
I compiled it and get a bin file. I want to test it using flash-drive.

Is it possible to write bootloader on the first sector of flashdrive, without using any other software and just by using DOS commands?
If yes then please tell me.

Thanks in advance...... :)

Instead of putting it on a thumb drive, just load it in a virtual machine. That way you can test it more easily.
