| 830654 | 2009-11-16 02:35:00 | Have you checked out Smart Boot Manager? Can't remember if it does USB though.. And I think BootItNG does everything as well btmgr.sourceforge.net www.terabyteunlimited.com |

| 830656 | 2009-11-16 03:02:00 | I have tried Smart Boot Manager before but I don't think it does USB Those other two seem to need windows already installed to be able to work. I want to be able to load the bootloader from a floppy or CD so I can access the USB DVD drive and install Server 2008... |

BootITNG creates a floppy or CD from an Image, and you boot from that to install it. |

| 830658 | 2009-11-16 03:18:00 | So you want to install Server server 2008 from a USB drive ?? If so, go to either a Vista or W7 PC Follow these instruction (kmwoley.com) - they are for W7 but work should work the same for Server 2008. I've done XP, Vista & W7 this way. WARNING: If you do this method, make SURE you have the right drive number for the USB drive, I was in a hurry once and wiped the wrong drive OOPS! :o |

| 830659 | 2009-11-16 03:49:00 | No, not a flash drive, the actual DVD but installed using a USB connected DVD drive (the computer doesn't have a DVD drive or USB DVD BIOS support) Athough it does have options for USB floppy and ZIP which don't work of course | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 830660 | 2009-11-16 04:03:00 | is there no BIOS update avaliable to give your PC a USB Boot feature? | baabits (15242) | ||
| 830661 | 2009-11-16 04:07:00 | www.plop.at Looks like support isn't too far away huh? Been googling but can't find any solutions, will keep looking |
