Hi there,
Is it possibel to make an USBpen bootebal, most pc here can boot from USB so if that can be done it would be very welcome to me.

If it is possibel I also like to access other files on the pen, I probebly need some sort of USB driver.

IF anyone can tell me what can be done and what can not be done, I like to hear it.

Tnx.

Tnx for the reply, i've read the artical, and some more on the internet, it should be possibel to boot, but not a full functional windows.
But I only need the system files (like copied in a sys command underDOS) and the acces to CD-rom. so it has to detect files on the USB-pen.

So actualy I need some cool software to make this.

Now I only hope that my Sony 256MB MIcrovault supports this.

I hope there is someone else out there that wanted it and got it working.

Hope to hear from you,

Hi:

I called Sony at 1-800 942-7669 and they said the MicroVault products are NOT bootable. Sorry!
