Default Dell Dimension 4550 can't boot off of USB drive.
The Win98SE Boot disks dont have a USB driver in the bood disk itself.
So you wont be able to boot off a USB drive unless your motherboard
can be set to emulate a floppy drive using a USB drive (I've seen some
Asus m/bs do this).

I guess this is why it works on all your machines, but not on your
dell....


Maybe you can try installing grub or another bootloader and try.
