Re: HOWTO: I have no floppy drive, how do I boot from USB Memory

well i can not use it
damn i have vista 64 and i keep getting an error it was about not being allowed to start( the VFD )(so i cannot mount my floppy image)
after doing what they say on the link you provided the error message changed to a simple 'failed to start VFD driver
what should i do?
i googled for another 'vfd like' but found none to download
any ideas?

All you really need for the HP utility are COMMAND.COM, IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS , if you search about a bit, you will find a copy of the HP utility with those files.

BFG Nforce4 Ultra users are left out as booting from a USB device is available.
Sad.
