Hi,

It is possible to boot from SanDisk Memory Card (DOS or WinXP)

TNX for any info

Yes! I have used a common card reader to boot into dos using SD card using HP's utility hpUSBUTIL.exe.

Use it to make the card bootable and you can easily achieve the results.

There are other many utilities for the same purpose.

TNX clavicle,

I knew about this utility, it's specially made for Booting for a USB... flash memory, CD anything connected to USB port... I'm afraid my memory card is not connected to a USB port.

When i display my System properties \ Peripheral Management i get:

Peripheral Type: Smartcard controller

Manufacturer: Winbond Smartcard Reader

Site: Intel 82801 FB LPC Interface Controller 2640

in your bios, does it give you the option to make it the first boot device?

Have a look here:

And search on the board for Sfiorito's posts, he is the real expert at this.

YES!

@jaclaz: TNX for the links, it's redirected me to SFiorito Instructions for making an "embedded" XP installation. Unfortunately, mp3car.com site is dead.

Yes, the forum is unreachable now.

Here is the SFiorito personal "Main" page:

Here is the google cache for the thread:

and the ggogle cahe of the forum index:

To find more cached pages, just copy the links you find on the pages and make a Google search for them.

But you should re-try the Mp3car forum as there are lots of related info, most probably it is a temporary malfunction.

TNX a lot
