lobstaman Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I got a 256mb flash drive here and now matter what I try I can't boot from it on my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum. Notes: - It's plugged into the usb ports on the back of the motherboard. - I used the utility to load 4 different sets of boot files.. all verified to work on other mediums. - Used USB-FDD, USB-Zip, USB-Cdrom ... all as the first boot device also. - USB Storage support is enabled. - Tried Plugging the mem stick directly to usb port (without extension cable) Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated. i would really like to get this working so I can't throw my floppy drive away. :p Props To ODB! ;): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
