Hi there,
Sorry about the slight offtopic, but...

Now that you have experience with that, is GAG able to boot any OS from a partition on a USB device of any kind?
I'm using a boot loader called "GAG" to multiboot all of my computers.
The laptop I'm using has FreeDOS, Windows XP, and Linux installed
now with the GAG boot loader in the MBR. C: is the FreeDOS
installation permanately on the laptop. It was MS-DOS last week...
I am thinking of a great deal of possibilities with my IDE/ATA=>USB adapter.... provided that the target OS is capable of understanding that it is being booted from such device... (I don't know if any of the Windows would be able to do that).
Sounds like bad news. Few available BIOSes seem to provide such a support for USB, at least that I know of....
Congratulations on getting USB stick bootable. How did you make it visible as E: in DOS ?
This is done automatically by the BIOS on at least two of my new
computers. The USB stick gets a drive letter. One of the
computers will only boot from it if it is a real floppy drive, the
other offers the option to boot from USB Mass Storage. DOS
doesn't know that it isn't a second hard drive. When it boots,
DOS sees the USB stick as C:. No DOS USB drivers are required.
