USB Booting

[biatche]

Is there something that I must know about installing from USB hard disks? I have a seagate freeagent here and after using diskpart/copy files/bootsect .. you know, the standard ways, all i get is this when i try to boot off the disk

" _ "

An underscore. That's it, but no problems on my pendrive.

I found another guide, that seems slightly different - http://dotnetwizard.net/tutorials/how-to-i...-usb-hard-disk/

it uses fat32 fs and i have yet to see if it works.

Any clues?
