Indeed it works too. I always forget about that one... The nice thing about that tool is that it seems to only list removable devices, which should limit the chance of doing something really bad. I do tend to check the drive manager and removable storage tray icon before I use these tools, though. I just verified that win32diskimager is indeed capable of writing ipxe.usb to a tiny 32MB USB stick I have lying around. For iPXE testing, it is just about the right size. :) -- Robin _______________________________________________ ipxe-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ipxe.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/ipxe-devel
