Hi all! I should write to DOS area.. There was alredy a topic about this problem. I have found that is possible to boot from USB CD rom (my is even recorder). Anyway, I have downloaded DUSE.exe and maked a floppy to start the computer. Than, since it didn't help, I have used another TTUDOS.exe, and it didn't help. Than I maked dos start floppy included file USB_CD.sys and it didn't work. The problem is that I can see prompt A:\ and harddisk partitions C:\ D:\ but if I want to see CD (USB) rom E:\ there is nothing, actually that this drive doesn't exist. I went into BIOS even to see boot sequence but there are only A: and C:(harddisk).

Ok, I haven't any OS installed on HD, and don't have CDrom. Only that I have is USB. Can anyone help me about this. I am not expert and if you explaine me step by step I will be very happy. THANKS!!!!!

Go to http://www.bgdf.com/darkehorse/PC/index.shtml they have Motto Hauri drivers which may work they are under DOS drivers. They also have a USB forum with lots of info.

This is also in Windows 9x Forum>>>>>>>>

I am having the same problem. i tried all of the above and nothing is working. I tried MSLANMAN and it couldn't find my driver for my card, i did a whole lot of fixing to the config.sys at the suggestion of a online source still nothing. I even tried to boot it over the network at home. I have a machine that is running XP that has a cayman router connected to it, i plugged it in and created a boot disk from Ghost, the pc booted up fine and went to a a:\ prompt... what do i do now? I have tried everything, i even dowloaded a copy of 95 on floppy and it wasn't complete, i downloade a copy of 3.1 and it wasn't complete. i tried another site and this time the install said it had to be run from windows. Someone help i just want to put an operating system on my laptop that only has a floppy drive. Nothing is working for me!
