With the NEC floppy drive attached, go into the BIOS (F2). Under the Advanced menu, click on Advanced System Configuration. Enable USB Legacy Support then save & exit. Go back into the BIOS and change the boot order. Put Diskette first in the order and then expand the Diskette group (press enter) to put NEC Floppy above Standard, save & exit.

Booting from a USB drive is possible on all Macintosh models beginning with the Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics) and the slot-loading iMac (See Apple Knowledgebase Article # 58430).

Generally speaking, booting from USB disk, CD/DVD drive is supported on x86 platforms with S10 update 1 and later if the BIOS has USB 2.0 support. Before you can boot Solaris from USB disk, you have to install Solaris on the disk first. Installing on USB memory sticks is not recommended as the number of writes to these sticks is limited. Installation from USB CD/DVD drive starts, but then fails with "not finding media" error.

Sure. You need to add "flags 0x20" at the end of the fd* entry and recompile your kernel. The line should be read: fd* at fdc? drive ? flags 0x20 After that you would be able to use the floppy drive all the times. It doesn't matter if you plugged it in after boot. For most people, you won't have to do anything here. It will automatically boot if no commands are given. But sometimes problems arise, or special functions are needed. That's where these options will come in handy.

Plug an ISA Multi-IO card, connect your floppy drive there, and flash your BIOS again, this time with one that really is for your motherboard.

Yes. USB flash drives can be plugged into the socket on the right side of the Mac after you have logged in. You may have to unplug the headphones to do this — please be sure to plug them back in when you are done. When you are finished with the USB drive, be sure to drag its icon to the trash icon on the Dock before you unplug it or you may risk damaging your data.

A standard floppy disc can hold 1.44 MB, which is many times less storage space than a USB flash drive. A 64MB flash drive is equal in data storage of about 44 floppy disks. Apart from this clear advantage, a flash memory based memory stick is magnetization proof, unlike traditional floppies, last longer (its memory, at least the erasable portion, can be reused for about 1,000,000 times and the data stored can lat up to 10 years.

These instructions are intended for users who do not have a built-in floppy drive in the machine being used to run the LANforge bootable CD-ROM. The USB floppy drive should already have a disk in it with a license.txt file that you obtained from sales@candelatech.com. Insert the Universal Host Controller Interface Host Controller Driver kernel module: insmod /lib/modules/2.6.18.2/kernel/drivers/usb/host/uhci-hcd.ko Copy the license.

All computers are equipped with multiple ports for inserting USB devices. Most workstations have a USB cable that is attached to the table for more convenient access to the ports.

The location of USB ports varies by machine. Look for a flat rectangular opening. If you're in a lab, ask the lab assistant for help. You must be patient when printing on a network, especially when printing a file with a lot of graphics. Do not keep resending the print job - that only makes the problem worse. Open the printer control panel and see if your job is in the queue. If it is, and you've been waiting more than 5 minutes, ask a lab assistant for help.

If you have a IDE Zip® or Jaz® drive installed, remove it and try again. The boot floppy can get confused by the drives. After the system is installed you can reconnect the drive. Hopefully this will be fixed in a later release.

A floppy disk drive is an economical, removable storage medium. It uses a magnetic disk. You can record or erase it and then remove it from the computer. You can use the removable disk repeatedly. Today's floppy is 3.5 inches of square, stiff plastic with a magnetic disk inside. It is called a floppy because the original disk, way back when, was large and floppy like a hound dog's ear. The term "floppy" is still with us.

First, Your PC or notebook must support "External USB-HDD Boot up" function. Second, to make sure all the USB cables and power cord all firmly connect to USB slots or power in-lets. No. You must start re-boot process over again. At this moment, you must choose the correct date version you want.

This is a conflict between some system BIOSes and the SanDisk Cruzer Micro flash drive. It is not related to the busTRACE software. If your system exhibits this problem, the system might appear to hang during Windows boot when you have our dongle (i.e. SanDisk Cruzer Micro) installed in a USB port. If you remove the dongle, the system continues to boot just fine. You can plug the dongle back in and everything works fine.

I got this working on a 256M Sandisk Cruzer Mini, but the procedure should be the same for any USB drive. I used a Linux machine to prep the drive. You can probably use a Windows machine to do all of this stuff; if you figure it out, feel free to let us know and we will update these instructions. First, I needed to repartition and reformat the drive, because the original partition table was an unholy mess which confused the boot loader.

Therefore booting from a USB device is not possible, neither to restore data from CD via DOS-based programs.

the boot prompt (ok) you can type the command boot, followed by the device that you want to boot from.

Unfortunately no, we don't stock or supply any spares. What we do recommend is searching eBay for the items you need, eg "USB FLOPPY".

This annoying behavior sometimes manifests itself when using the DOS, UNIX, or ! commands to execute external programs. It is likely due to the virus checking software installed on your computer. You can get rid of this behavior by going to the properties of your virus detection software, and unchecking the "Scan floppies on access" option or something like that. The details may depend on which anti-virus software you're using.

The solution is simple. Just get Recover Fixed/Floppy Disk v2.2. It has a special switch to supply Boot Record thereby making DOS to work on the floppy as good as on a good one with a good Boot sector.

Well, you can mimic etherboot with a floppy even if your NIC doesn't have a boot ROM. This mean you can use a floppy to connect to the DHCP and TFTP server and download the rest. Maybe a bit slow during boot, but it works well. Goto http://www.rom-o-matic.net/ and download an image for your NIC. Follow the instructions on that site to make a net bootable floppy. A:Yes, but obviously only if you boot from local media.

The most common reason for this problem is the absence of a bootable master boot record or active partition on the target disk. When using the Copy a specific drive method to copy one drive to another, Casper Tech Edition does not replace the master boot record or change the active partition status on the target disk. In order to ensure the target disk contains a valid master boot record and the appropriate partition is marked active, it is necessary to use the Copy an entire hard disk method.

Yes, but it will show up as a (very small) scsi disk. check /dev/dsk/c... nodes. There are no /dev/diskette nodes for usb floppy. Plug in the device and run rmformat(1M). It will show you the device node for the USB floppy. Assume it is /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0p0 (x86). # mkfs -F pcfs -o nofdisk,size=2800 /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0p0 # mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c4t0d0p0:c /mnt

To protect files on USB Flash Drives, Memory Sticks, Pen Drives and Zip Drives, click 'Browse' and select the option 'Move to portable disk'. Then read the instructions and click the 'Next' button. Now you will be able to select the drive(s) in which you want protection. You can select these drive(s) by clicking the check boxes next to them. After that click the 'Move It' button, this will move the program folder of Folder Lock to that drive.

Encrypt the entire USB flash drive. However, you will not be able run TrueCrypt from the USB flash drive. Create a TrueCrypt file container on the USB flash drive (for information on how to do so, see the chapter Beginner's Tutorial, in the TrueCrypt User Guide).

Utah Valley is lucky to have several options for exploring the area by automobile. Some of the more common drives are the Alpine Loop, Hobble Creek, Provo Canyon, and Nebo Loop Scenic Byway (a National America's Byway's listing).

Most floppies you will run into are DOS-formatted. However, Red Hat Linux defaults to using its native format called ext2. Because of this, you can run into some difficulties unless you are aware of the following points. If you plan to always look at DOS floppies, it is easy to edit the file /etc/fstab and change the line: You will now be able to use the command mount /mnt/floppy to mount the floppy and the command umount /mnt/floppy to unmount the floppy before you eject it.

Lately, vendors have begin moving away from the floppy drive. Our base model laptops do not include a floppy drive. We recommend using a USB Flash Memory Key instead. If you would like a floppy drive, they are available from the vendors as an additional option.
