I use my usb key as a boot disk when ghosting machines. I would like to make images of the USB key, so I can just deploy the image to USB key each I need to turn it into a boot disk. But I can only find software to make floppy disk images (example: winimage) or cd images (example: winISO, magic ISO). Can't find anything designed to take an image of a USB key. Cheers! MATt

Are you sure WinImage won't do this? It's supposed to be able to transfer an ISO image to a USB stick. Alternatively MKBT might do it for you. http://www.nu2.nu/mkbt/ or http://roudybob.net/archive/2004/03/02/399.aspx Quote "A newer, better utility is now available from HP, the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool. (Don't worry, it can be used with non-HP drives, verified with my Sandisk Cruzer Mini.) The HP utility will allow you to easily create a bootable USB drive, provided you have a disk available with the proper DOS system files, for example a Windows 98 boot floppy." Exactly what you're looking for methinks !

actually I had already made it bootable using the tool you suggested, but thanks. now i just want to take an image of the USB key. but winimage doesn't seem to let me. Matt

About a year ago, I am pretty sure that I used Drive Image 2002 to image a notebook drive via USB2 connection. It should work for your key I would think, but maybe not unless it sees it as a hard drive.
