Re: Unable to boot from USBdevice

Hi all,

I tested the new "Future Pack" for USB boot.
I noticed, that on i875 Intel based motherboards you cant boot from an USB
stick formatted with FAT 32. FAT 32 works on AMD motherboards and my
Shuttle Barebone with Intel chipset.

The same stick boots on all motherboards that I tested formatted with
FAT16.

I choose the HP format utility which gives for me always
the best results for USB boot from USB pendrives.

AND: You cant choose now the possibilty to modify
boot.ini because ntldr gives you then the message: Bad boot.ini found.

The CriticalDeviceDatabase is nearly exact the same as mine for USB
boot...hihi.

On thing in USB* entry in Registry services is others than mine: Start = 0
is clear, because the USB driver have to be present at boottime.
But this USB boot from Microsoft works with Group = Base entry.
I have to choose Group = System Reserved .

I make a try to change the NTLDR against it from
XP SP1 because I often need different boot.ini
entries.

Nice to hear from you
Dietmar

PS: I use simple the Minlogon Macrocomponent for testing USB Boot.
The Pendrive is LEXAR Jumpdrive with 500MB.
This stick is shown at once as a harddrive (not
removable device, because the harddrive Bit is set there from factory) so
it is best for testing.
