Re: Unable to boot from USBdevice

Dear Darren,

FP2007 has its own format tool, formatufd.exe.

It will take over the format job.

Sondre,

I haven't tried the USB boot yself yet. But the 'Disk Error' genarlly
points
to the format of geometry of the disk.

1. Is the USB key FAT16 - if so you will have to go through the
'BootPrep.exe' process.

2. If your usb key is FAT32 then you may like to try booting the machine
from a win 98 cdrom and try formatting the usb key on the device. Our
experience is that XPe likes it's booot device to be formatted on the
target.

Cheers

Darrem

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.
