SatoriDo Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hi there! I have just purchased a Corsair Voyager GT 8GB, and I'm wanting to make it bootable and be able to run some utilities to troubleshoot different machines. I got one version Knoppix to run as a bootable drive on my Laptop (Dell Inspiron 6000), but I'm having trouble getting it to work on my main machine. So far, I think the problem is that the BIOS is recognizing the USB drive as a USB-ZIP drive, but I'd like it to see it as a USB-HDD. Is this possible? I have a SanDisk Cruzer Micro 256MB that works just fine and is bootable and recognized as a USB-HDD. Is there a way to flash the firmware or something to get Corsair drive to be HDD? Thanks for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlamboley Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I have two questions : Fisrt witch tools make a bootable Key of course you need to be in FAT16 or FAT32 but how make the boot ? Finally when you are under DOS usb driver are USB1 and when you want to make a ghost it's very slow. So how load USB2 driver for Dos ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 27, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 27, 2007 There is no driver support for USB2 in DOS, its done in your Bios. To make the drive boot able just use a Win9X or Dos Boot disk and set the Flash drive as if it were a HDD in your bios and then Fdisk and format the HDD as if it was a HDD.
