Using Flash (Thumb) Drive via Floppy Boot Disk
Hi Gary,
What OS can you launch off a CD, that allows you to use a flash drive? Thanks in advance, Brad On Sat, 12 Jan 2008 12:57:40 -0800, in microsoft.public.win98.disks.general you wrote: You're talking about a DOS OS, and I don't think they make drivers for flash drives to support DOS. Thus, you would need to find a different operating system that can boot from a CD and support flash drives. (I don't think anyone has a floppy-based system that supports flash drives, but I may be wrong.) Off the top of my head (which doesn't remember much these days), I know of one such OS: BartPE http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ Without the long web page of explanations: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/bartpe.html |

Using Flash (Thumb) Drive via Floppy Boot Disk
Did you go to the links I provided? I'm fairly certain that BartPE has that
capability. I'm not an expert user, however, so perhaps it doesn't in your case. You'll have to try it to find out. If, after trying out BartPE, you need further assistance, come back and we'll find you some. Or use Google to find help: http://www.google.com/search?num=30&...2+howto+he lp BartPE http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ Without the long web page of explanations: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/bartpe.html -- Gary S.
