1kyle Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 If your computer boots from a USB device (you might need to go into the BIOS options and set USB Boot option) you can get a great Linux rescue system including a Disk Partitioner and a Disk Partion Imager by following instructions here.http://www.sysresccd.org/Howto_install-usb-stickIt works on my system whether or not it works on yours will depend on how the USB support is implemented in the BIOS.Note that here you are using the MD purely in Data mode. Just use the Native USB drivers. You don't want the SS one's.Booting is not particularly fast but it DOES work.Now I'm trying to get a Bootable Windows rescue system based on Bart's PE. http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/Have funCheers-K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcou Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I've try to make a himd bootable with instructions you've given one month ago, but (perhaps because I'm french or not very clever!) I failed.My computer is recent and bios allows boot from usb, that's not a problem. I know how to change the boot order in the bios. But the computer says it didn't find boot sectors on the disc (md). As nero doesn't make bootable usb disk, but only bootable CD, have I to use mkbt software to put bootables sectors on md? when you have choiced " no emulation, sector boot to 4" in nero, what is the next step? where to find the boot image?You may think I'm a little stupid or lazy, but if you could give a step-by-step tutorial, I think lot of people in this forum would be interested.

Regards.You need to pull off the boot image with a program like ISOBUSTER or whatever. For Windows the Boot bit is labelled something like Microsoft.img (or .ima). Extract this to a file and in NERO use that as the boot image.Similar for Linux -- just pull off the boot loader.When I've got time I'll try and post a boot image on the web.Cheers-K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
