Not sure about Me, it's my copy of 98 SE what I had checked.

It is a regular DOS boot disk, only for DOS v8 or whatever, and with some extras. So you can probably use it right away. In case the extras should leave too little conventional memory to run games you could delete some lines from CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. But first try using the Windows Me boot disk as is.

Also, the option to really create a DOS boot disk is present in all versions of Windows, at least up to 7:

But I think it's totally bare-boned, without CD-ROM or even extended or expanded memory drivers. But you can find those easily.
