A USB stick is ***NOT*** a zip-drive or a floppy drive. That could be your problem right there. Do you have any other USB options in your BIOS boot menu? Is there anything like "usb key" or "usb thumbdrive"? They would make more sense. BTW, I have a machine with weird behaviour. If I... * insert the USB stick * boot to BIOS setup * select the boot-order menu Then the USB key shows up as an option in the boot-order menu... complete with manufacturer name and model of the USB key. -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
