I bought this modell (JetFlash usb 2.0 128 Mb---> Part #: TS128MJF2L ) because I saw : Window, Machintosh, Linux; boot up function--- can make JetFlash Bootable device "JetFlash can also be setup to be used as MS-DOS Boot Disk with the software included in the package" "JetFlash boot function requires Windows operating system, software installation and your motherboard need to support USB ZIP, USB-FDD or USB-HDD (in Windows XP only USB ZIP). Refer to your motherboard manual. Boot function only allow JetFlash to run MS-DOS programs, however, this does not make JetFlash as Rescue Disk or put Windows Startup files into JetFlash" http://www.transcendusa.com/FlashCard/docs/256MJF2L.pdf http://www.transcendusa.com/FlashCard/docs/TS4GJF2C-EN.pdf Are > you confident you have a bootable USB key? > > Further more, under the BIOS' I have access too with USB boot > capability, they tend to have differing types - such as; > > USB-FDD > USB-HDD > USB-ZIP > > I'm not sure if the syslinux version is going to be USB-FDD or > USB-HDD For Flonix is USB-FDD ( although sometimes , USB-HDD works, but not for me using Windows XP to prepare the booting files in the keydrive). Regards. P.D. : Has anyone obtained a good booting using Flonix with a keydrive ??. Can specify the trademark and modell of the keydrive ??. _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
