jimet Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 I have a workable unattended CD created and wanted to find out if it's possible to copy the CD to a USB drive and make it install from there. Most of the new PC's I'll be setting up for my company can boot to a removable device, but I haven't tried this yet. Has anyone tried this??? Jim E.
raskren Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Haven't tried it but seriously considered it. The only issue would be getting the bootsector onto the flash drive - typically we use Nero or Roxio to write the boot loader to the CD but these won't write to flash drives. You might want to Google a program called "Raw Write" or "RawWrite". This allows you write boot information to floppies and other removable media. I have never used it with USB media but I don't see why it couldn't work.
dcrowder32 Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Search this site. There are a few people working hard on this. Not sure which thread...SEARCH!
