No such luck.. the system will not boot from the drive. =20 I have no trouble with other O.S.'s booting from the jumpdrive, and of course the system BIOS is set to boot from this device. I was just curious if anyone has any feedback on this scenario. =20 Thanks =20 Thomas Foster =20 "In a world without fences or walls, there is no need for Gates or Windows." =20
