Test Your USB Drive

Make sure you set your computer to boot from USB Flash Drive

To Enter the BIOS press the "Del" button on your keyboard. Alternatives are "F1", "F2", "Insert", and "F10". Some PC's BIOS might even require a different key to be pressed. Commonly a PC will show a message like "Press [Del] to enter Setup" to indicate that you need to press the "Del" key. Some AMI BIOS require you to enable the option "USB Keyboard Legacy support"!

For AMI BIOS:

  • Go to "Feature Setup". "Enable" these options: "USB Function Support",

    "USB Function For DOS" and "ThumbDrive for DOS". Go to "Advanced Setup".

    Set the "1st Boot Device" to "USB RMD-FDD".

    Reboot the PC and it now should boot from the Usb Stick.

  • Go to "USB Mass Storage Device Configuration". Select "Emulation Type"

    and set it to "Harddisk". Go to the "Boot Menu" and set the "1st boot device" to "USB-Stick". Exit the BIOS, saving the changes.

    you can try "Emulation Type" to "Floppy" or "Forced FDD".

For PHOENIX/AWARD BIOS:

  • Go to "Advanced BIOS Features". Go to the "1st Boot device" and set it to "USB-ZIP".


If you are having problem while it creates Ram Drive then you may want to edit and delete all the /numhandles=128 from config.sys

Some users reported that it works fine on smaller (128MB) Usb Drives but not on 512MB or larger (cursor blinking at the top left corner)

More Success Reports:

Extract this files in C:\USB before you use usb_format.exe (Step 4)
