O.P. RE: Making a USB Flash Disk bootable
I forgot to say that the computers also don't have a CD drive...
Damn, if I had a floppy, it would have been much easier...

Isn't it possible to execute killcmos.com before Windows launches with autoexec.bat or something?
Or was this removed in windows xp...?


By the way, I also tried following the instructions I posted on the first post, but that didnt work... :(


EDIT: I found a liitle program called CmosPwd which decodes the password for many motherboard manufacturers and it also works inside Windows :D
So, now I have the password, I tested it and it works, however, I still haven't checked the boot order...
But atleast I know the password now...

EDIT2: I went to the BIOS again to see if there was the option to boot from "USB-ZIP" (which seems to be a usb flash disk) and there is :D
I haven't tested however to boot from my flash drive because I currently dont have it with me, but I will try soon :D
