I was trying to boot from USB using my Kingston USB 256MB flash drive and after testing many things just had success. I needed to access to my USB fash disk from MS-DOS to partition and format. Downloaded USBASPI.SYS and di1000dd.sys Added two lines to my config.sys: device=USBASPI.SYS device=di1000dd.sys Then when I booted into MS-DOS, my computer detected my USBkey as an SCSI hard disk D: so I checked with Partion Magic and reported some errors in partition type. I decided to use Fdisk to delete old partition, create a new one (in FAT) then apply a "Format D: /s" but it will not boot because your partition is not "active". You will need to use Partition Magic or other software like Windows 2000/XP Disk Manager to activate your USBkey partiton to enable booting, because Fdisk can only activate on your primary boot disk. Any way, some computers boot OK from USB but others dont... so try to boot from different computers... I even booted with "Boot from USB floppy" and "Boot from USB ZIP" options, so test them too. Good luck. Links: http://www.everythingusb.com/hardware/index/Kingston_DataTraveler_2.0_512MB_user_reviews.htm http://www.computing.net/dos/wwwboard/forum/13679.html

Here's another thread with success...it's a good read: http://computing.net/windows95/wwwboard/forum/151924.html Skip

It's a very good read with very clever ideas... 1) Zip your instaled windows to save space on your Flash drive... 2) Mount a RAM disk and unzip your windows on it 3) Run your windows from RAM, it's very fast I will try to use 98lite to make the smallest W98se posible and compress to ZIP. Lets see how small my windows can be... Lots of thanks...
