formatc1702 Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 by the way... i contacted sony regarding booting from external sources and all they said was they guaranteed it would boot from an external sony floppy drive, they didn't have information on other devices :sigh!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 6, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 6, 2006 Your system will need to support booting from a USB HDD, and you would need to use a utility to make the flash drive bootable. Out Utility will only work with DOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
