[opensuse] Slightly OT: Making a Kingston DataTraveler memory stick bootable
I called Kingston and they said they support it - however - she has heard it done. Anybody know how ? (I used just about everything that is documented on the internet - HP's utility, PE...., and nothing works) Thanks, Duaine -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding Reed Organ Society Member Florissant, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler@att.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home & Business user of Linux - 10 years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Syslinux lets vfat filesystems be bootable under linux. You have to make a single primary partition of type c on the usb drive and *make it bootable* with fdisk. Format it vfat. Then you install the code from syslinux/mbr/mbr.bin to it with dd. Then copy syslinux to the usb drive. Patrick Verner's page on making his PartEdMagic usb bootable will get you started. You don't actually have to copy the PartEdMagic stuff to the finished product. Don't use the syslinux that comes with openSUSE -- get it from the PartEdMagic CD http://partedmagic.com/documentation/130-creating-the-liveusb.html Another good example: http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-manual-en_How_to_install_SystemRescueCd_o... Again, use the syslinux from SystemRescue CD, not the openSUSE one. HTH -- N. B.

Or.. do you mean create an openSUSE bootable cd? http://en.opensuse.org/Live_USB_stick#openSUSE_11.2 -- N. B.

Is there a typo in there? If they support it, ask them! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What I always use is unetbootin (google it). Works to make any usb device bootable. The requirement is that the program to be booted be an iso file. -- Thanks, Tom (retired penguin) openSUSE 11.2 x86_64, KDE 4.3.1 linxt@comcast.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sorry, I should have added - to boot and install Win XP from the USB drive. I bought an ASUS eee PC with Linux and I need to install Win XP on it Apologies, Duaine -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding Reed Organ Society Member Florissant, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler@att.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home & Business user of Linux - 10 years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sorry, wrong list. You might want to try a M$ mailing list.
Apologies, Duaine
