Hello all maxtor has a tool called amset that controls the acoustics of your hard disk

To use the tool you must use a windows boot disk and run the tool from a:/promt

problem is i dont have a floppy drive any more but i have a usb cd-rw drive i was wondering is there anyway to get the command prompt on a cd-rw so i can run this tool

thanx for any help links or tutorials would be great.

a windows 98 cd will do the trick or look into BartPE or UBCD

If your bios supports booting a usb device, usually all you need to do is use the old floppy as the bootsector when creating a bootable cd. Most good burning apps have a feature to create bootable CD's

If you want to learn more and get adventurous Bart's site is the place to go.
