Octopuss Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Is it possible at all? Bootsect utility seems to only work with NTFS... Is there a way around this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda43 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Duh...........................!Could you be a little more specific as to exactly what you're trying to do?Any flash media, whether stick or camera card, can be made to boot up a PC, but only into the DOS environment.All such media are formatted in the FAT or FAT-32 mode.I have created bootable flash sticks that will boot up most any PC and run,Ghost, Partition Magic 8, CheckItPro, Spinrite and many otherutilities.All you need is the HP program to format a flash drive and a suitable source for the 3 DOS boot files.I don't know if I'm allowed to post the links to those things here.So I won't..... at the risk of being politically incorrect.

Octopuss Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 right I wanted to be able to install Win7 from flash drive formatted to exFAT, but it's probably not possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 You can make an exFAT drive bootable for WinCE 6.0 devices via BIOSLoader, but I do not believe that there's a version of windows yet that would support booting from the filesystem.

BlackDogSpark Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Why not just install it from hdd? just copy the dvd content in to a active partition and boot from that. The partition can be ntfs. That is how I did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
