531239 2007-03-08 22:44:00 Which bootable zip file should I choose? There are quite a few to choose from. :(

Any 95 or 98 zip file. And if u want CD support, get a zip file that supports it.

531243 2007-04-13 22:09:00 I finally got my first USB flash drive, downloaded the DOS system files and the HP utility from the above links.

Launched the HP utilty, ticked the create DOS system disk and pointed to the the folder where I downloaded and unzipped DOS ISO file, clicked OK but error message says:

"There are no valid system file at the specified location"

Am I getting the correct DOS files from Bootdisk.com - they are all .ISO files. Or I gotthe wrong files?

Please advise.

531244 2007-04-13 22:19:00 Ah, that HP utility looks for a folder with the DOS files in it.

Not an ISO file.

If u get a zipped file from bootdisk.com, unzip it so its in its own folder then run that HP util again, do what u did then point it to the unzipped folder.

Last time I checked they were just zipped not iso files.

531245 2007-04-13 22:53:00 Speedy, but the zipped file contains only 1 ISO file! bk T (215)
531246 2007-04-13 22:59:00 I think I found the correct system file.

Thanks again, Speedy.

531247 2007-04-13 23:30:00 I downloaded the supposedly correct zipped file, unzipped it to a folder, (these files: 622c.img, readme.txt, licence.txt & Firm.com).

But HP utility still says there are no valid system files at the specified location!

What have I done wrong????

531248 2007-04-13 23:54:00 Send me a PM with your email address.

I'll email a zipped file to you. Its only 749k.

Unzip so it makes it folder then point that HP utility to it.

This should definitely work, as it whats I used for my USB flash drive.
