geekuser Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I wanted to make my brand new Flash Voyager 4GB bootable using the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool. Now when I try to boot from the usb flash drive, BIOS gives me the following error message: Invalid system disk Replace the disk, and then press any key Since another flash drive (Infineon 128MB) works fine using the same method, it can't be a problem with my BIOS / motherboard. I tried both FAT and FAT32 formatting. Is there something I'm missing here or is the flash drive really corrupted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 20, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 20, 2008 Some times it will work and sometimes it will not work. But you can try using a Win9X Boot Floppy or CD and disconnect all HDD's and set the Flash drive as if it is a Bootable HDD in your MB BIOS and use FDisk to create and then format the drive with the /S command.
