O.P. [Solved]Install Hiren's BootCD to boot from it using a USB Flash Disk
Hello.

I want to make a USB Flash Disk bootable.
I tried copying FreeDOS' floppy image to my flash disk, but it didn't seem to work.
I also tried copying the created files from a windows formatted floppy with the "Create MS-DOS boot floppy" option enabled, but that also didn't work.

Do I need to format my flash disk with "a special way" to make it bootable?

Or maybe, do I need to do something like that?


Also, I dont know whether the USB device is first in the boot order, and I cant check that since the BIOS is password protected.
But I think it is because when I leave it on the USB slot and then restart my computer, my flash disk's activity light will light on for a sec twice: Once before the computer starts detecting IDE drives and once after "Verifing DMI Pool Data" is done... (I know that some MBs don't show that, but this MB does :P)

So, how can I make my flash disk bootable?


Thanks.


UPDATE: I have managed to make my flash disk bootable.
Now I have problems installing Hiren's BootCD as you can see here.

Help would be appriciated :)
