Dustinwmew Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I don't need my pin drive bootable, only to be able to use it at text setup time if it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radimus Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 nopethere is not enough BIOS support for USB for that yet.You either boot from it or you use a DOS disk with USB drivers oryou use WinPENone os which will get you in at textmode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilemke Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 hmm.. it might actually be posible.. my external firewaire hd is seen in text mode setup.. it i will even let me try to install to it.. maybe thats too different though.. i am not a fan of usb storage.

syntax_13 Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I have an external 80GB USB 2.0 harddrive and it is seen by text mode setup. My 256MB stick is not seen. Maybe text mode setup only shows drives big enough to install windows on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I think it has to do with this: some usb sticks are bootable, some of them are not. I'm afraid yours isn't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
