Hi friends, I need to know how to extract the bootsector of the bootable CD and put it onto USB Pendrive so that USB Pendrive becomes bootable. Any ideas? Thanks a lot in advance! Zennon

HP do a usb boot utility http://www.bootdisk.com/pendrive.htm But I used Bart Pe boot extractor http://www.nu2.nu/bbie/ to extract the boot sector from a cd. Before posting try google. Backup. Use anti virus software.

Hello again! Of course, I've tried with bbie.exe and I got the CD bootsector successfuly (first the PenDrive was formatted under HP USB Format Tool and then with mkbt.exe I did it in DOS window of XP) but after this the PenDrive was not longer recognisable by the system. To give you the complete information I've repeated the formatting of the USB Drive as FAT, then FAT 32 and NTFS but in wasn't successful with copying the bootsector on it. The strange message after mkbt.exe has finished was: Size=243MB OEM="Äđ╝" VolLabel="♠«☺3Ėî└u" FileSys="~î╚ÄĕĂ♠«" The result was still the same: the PenDrive was no recognisable by the OS. What's wrong with it? :-( Zennon
