amigafan Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Has anyone heard of a way to boot from an SD card......?SD stands for Secure Digital, it's a type of flash memory used in cameras, phones and other devices.OP: I know that CF cards can be booted when install on the IDE bus with an adaptor, but I don't know about SD. I'm looking into it for use on my new laptop, so I'll post any info I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle710 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 I have heard of emulation tools that can make the system think an SD is a USB HDD or FDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I know people are booting directly from SD Flash cards in Asus Eee PCs.Its going to depend on your motherboard/bios; but generally you just use diskpart to clean the card, format it FAT32, mark it active (MBR), and copy the OS to the drive.

amigafan Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I tested 2 microSD cards in my MSI GX700 laptop, but was unable to boot from them. I can boot from them when I use a USB adaptor, but I wanted to have them stored safely in the SD slot. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
