Dell Dimension 4550 can't boot off of USB drive.
I created boot floppy on my SanDisk Cruzer 1G USB with the HP Drive Key Boot Utility. It's an image of a regular 98se boot floppy from bootdisk.com. It works on everything but my Dells. When I boot my Dell Dimension 4550 it says Disk I/O error Replace the disk, and press any key There is a setting called Hard-Disk Drive Sequence that says 1 USB Device 2 System BIOS boot devices I have that set on 1 Then there is a Boot Sequence setting that has 1 IDE CD-ROM Device 2 Hard Disk Drive C: 3 Floppy device (not installed) I've tried many permutatons of these settings and I still can't get it to boot. I've flashed the newest BIOS A08 and still no joy. I've downloaded PenDrive Linux and that boots fine. |
