Hi, I reviewed some of the URLs... http://www.aaltonen.us/archive/2004/03/01/tip-boot-from-usb-key-addendum/ mentions the HP Windows tool. For the other method, you have to have a BIOS which supports USB drives even if you do not boot from them.
http://roudybob.net/archive/2004/03/02/399.aspx This one (related to previous one, and both have discussion forums on page) mentions the HP Windows tool, too. http://www.weethet.nl/english/hardware_bootfromusbstick.php Here MKBT from http://www.nu2.nu/mkbt/ is used to fiddle with boot sectors and write the boot sector to the USB drive. I assume that this can work in FreeDOS with DOS USB drivers *if* you use a devel kernel (otherwise the IOCTLs will not work for the USB drive). http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/usb-boot.mspx This just tells what MS would like your BIOS to do for bootability. http://www.atd-group.narod.ru/rus/usbdos.htm That one is in Russian language. Finally, Bootdisk.info crashed Netscape. http://www.google.de/search?q=site%3Afd-doc.sourceforge.net+usb+boot http://www.google.de/search?q=site%3Afreedos.org+usb+boot Shows you that booting USB is no new topic for FreeDOS. Would be nice if somebody could find out which of the hits are best ;-).
