[Release] FlashBoot V1.3.0.124

[UtCollector]

Here is FlashBoot V1.3.0.124

Note:

FlashBoot is a tool that makes USB disks bootable. It was specially designed to work with USB Flash devices. It is used to reformat flash disk and transfer system files to it. I used it on a PenDrive mini 1 gb. It hase a transfer rate of 9.5 mb/s on avarage. I would sugest a faster 1. After formating it with the tool from this page i managed to make a bootable BartPE on it. This is a addon for nLite. Sow if you're into (Ore would like to try) booting a OS ore program from usb you might like this.

You have many options for your choice:

convert BartPE bootable CD-ROM to bootable USB disk

transfer DOS kernel only (you may get the files from installed Windows 9x, from Windows 9x setup folder, or use built-in FreeDOS)

convert floppy disk to USB Flash disk (a diskette or an image file may be used)

convert a bootable CD-ROM to USB Flash disk (again images are supported). There are some technical difficulties with supporting any type of CD-ROM here, see details below. But there should be no troubles with the most real cases. You may convert Knoppix and EBCD, for instance.

create Windows NT/2000/XP password recovery disk

create disk with NT/2000/XP bootloader. It would be useful when you have mistakenly configured it, and boot.ini file was left on unreachable disk (NTFS).

duplicate USB flash disk. Just creates a copy of existing disk USB flash disk, different sizes of source and destination medias are OK.

Before you can boot from usb go into you're bios and set it to boot from USB.

(Write down any settings you change, in case you have to restore them later)
