Although my goal was not to boot from the usb stick, just load it with useful programs I may put that on my list of things to mess around with. ;)
Also, if any of you have one like this and need to use it on a computer with an OS pre windows ME, you will need to download drivers to get it to work. Lucally I have 2000 and linux at home, and XP pro at work. Although I did come up with a great solution for using it on a pre-ME system. Just burn a copy of knoppix, and boot to it. Knoppix will automatically mount the usb drive. Then mount the hard drive read/write (can't write to NTFS in Knoppix though...for now) and copy the files using knoppix to the hard drive. Reboot into 98 or whatever os it is, and your files will be waiting. I'm loving this gadget! Everyone should have a USB hard drive on their keychain. I can't wait for the 1gig model to be $60.
