My computer has an internal card reader. In Bios I can chose to boot from card reader, fd-usb, hd-usb, other boot devices...
How to boot from a usb stick or usb hd is easy. I done that often with the hp format tool and booting hd-usb in bios. But somehow it does not work with the original card reader, no matter if I chose hd-usb or card reader. In Windows the card reader is also shown as a normal usb device. The sd card is a SanDisk 64 MB SD Card. It was used in a digital camera before and I could format it with the hp format utility without problems. No idea why this card reader isn`t booting. You have an idea maybe? Maybe an external card reader could work better? -------------------- Dummy id.

Mind you this is a rather "new" field, but there is a thread related to this:
http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=20314 where some progresses have been made. Moreover recently cdob posted some interesting reports on the "XP kansas city shuffle" thread: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?sho...c=21242&hl= I suggest you to follow the steps in the first mentioned thread, until you manage to get a DOS boot, then we'll start thinking about XP or other OS. jaclaz -------------------- - Fighting against bloatware since 2004, and proud of it. -
