Re: Tutorial how to boot from any USB

Hi Dietmar, Gert,
I am stuck in this situation.
I have tried to disable IDE driver, and let IDE driver boot after boot.
Unfortunately, I can't succeed yet.
I have set apati driver's start into bigger then 1, but I got 7B.
I have deleted all Key in CriticalDeviceBase, and added USB Keys, but system
still checked IDE device.
