Hi,

I'm trying to get my XP PRO Bootup DVD with all my applications to run from a usb 1 gig drive. My motherboard supports USB boot up options(MSI NEO PLATINUM). I tried this guide http://www.weethet.nl/english/hardware_bootfromusbstick.php and after completion i just dumped all the files on my DVD and booted the computer. It would not read the USB drive. Is there something i'm missing or did wrong.

Thanks

Well... the problem seems to be that there's no way to make the usb flash to boot if the partition is bigger than 1.44MB... I've tried with several ways ( http://www.hiren.info/downloads/files/usb_format.zip , HP Drive Boot Utility and WinImage ) and I've only managed to boot from USB if the partition is FAT and 1.44MB...

I'm still looking for a solution...
