Re: Unable to boot from USBdevice

Dear Sondre,

Due to "USB 2.0 Boot" function needs BIOS INT13 natively support, you
need to check the BIOS support.

Otherwise, do you reference the help file, it shows the steps to achieve
this goal.

PS. I also met "Disk error" yesterday.
After changing BIOS, the problem was gone.
This function is really BIOS sensitive.

I'm trying to use the new "USB 2.0 Boot" feature/component (in the Feature
Pack 2007) but unable to get it working. My hardware just says "Disk
error"
when I start up my PC.

The motherboard is a VIA EPIA-SP8000EG, EDEN/800Mhz, with a TwinMOS PC3200
DDR-DIMM 1024MB.

There is nothing other than VGA kabel, USB mouse, PS/2 keyboard connected
to
the motherboard.

My USB device is a Corsair Flash Voyager 4096MB USB2.0 13/19MB sec.

Motherboard discovers the USB device in the BIOS and allows me to choose
it
in boot priority, i've also successfully booted from the USB device using
Windows 98 boot disk file.

Is there a guideance, blog post, or anything like that, that shows how to
utilize the new USB boot feature? I've been waiting for this for quite a
while and really want it to work.
