I personnaly used Win32 DiskImager that is a free tool instead of
Physdiskwrite to write to a USB key under Vista. I always had a lot of
problems using Physdiskwrite on Vista to install to CF or USB key. I also
had to add rootdelay=10 in /os/astlinux*.conf at the end of KCMD= line for
booting from USB devices.
Hope it can help

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
