Booting from USB stick
I want to boot from a USB stick but I am unable to find out how...
I have a Phoenix-Award BIOS v6.00PG bios on that comp.
I can choose this in the boot sequence: floppy, LS120, HDD-0, SCSI, CDROM, HDD-1, HDD-2, HDD-3, ZIP100, USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, USB-CDROM, USB-HDD and LAN.
I've tried all that say USB but they seem not to work or I am doing something wrong. Any Ideas?

Your usb-stick needs to support U3, with U3 you can run programs from your usb stick.

Re: Booting from USB stick
I guess he wanted to boot windows from his USB sticks not running programs off his USB stick. You can have bartPE on your USB disk
You can have a lot of topics off google:

Re: Booting from USB stick
I want to use boincPE on it but I just realised it won't work because the ram usage sucks really hard on that machine. Because you load it into ram and just BOINC and bartPE uses half the ram and 128 MB isn't enough for the projects.

Re: Booting from USB stick
IIRC your flash drive needs to be formatted with FAT(12) to be recognised as bootable by the BIOS.
