I enjoyed reading your review. Thanks for the very detailed breakdown Booting from a USB flash drive is a great way to diagnose computer problems, I’ve been using Linux for this purpose, but it is good to know that we now have a way to do that in Windows!

A simple article but including very useful informations. The steps of installing PEBuilder is very easy to understand and are worth for us to learn.

I was amazed about the accuracy and clarity of your instructions, there was no problem on any new step, worked like a charm – sorry to say, without success. It accesses the flash drive (light indicator) but does not boot. I venture a wild guess. I have a couple of rescue disks which worked beautiful on my old computer (Phoenix BIOS) but do not work on my new one (American Megatrends BIOS) Could it be that the new BIOS’ abandoned DOS in favor of Linus or Unix? I also have a “Ultimate booting disk” made up from PEbuilder which does not boot on my new machine anymore (worked on the old one). Would you have any suggestions?

What if I just want to make an SD bootable using the files from a bootable FLOPPY disk for example my Drive Image Floopy – I modified it so I can use a single floppy instead of 2 so I can boot via floppy or use that as the image for a bootable CD

do I just format dos bootable and copy the contents of the floppy over to the SD card? can I still use the rest of the space on the SD (for the drive image image file?)

I assume SDHC won’t work? I noticed windows XP install “saw” my SDHC card but the drive image saw there was a card but saw it as “nothing” ie no size (I have not tried this with a smaller card yet I would be using a 2 to 4gb card (I have 4gb non sdhc cards)

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

When I tried to use source D:i386, I got a response that the system cannot find the source path D:i386i386setupldr.bin…

Why did it try to put i386 twice? I ended up just putting the root of the CD Rom drive in and tried it.

I got a warning that building from an OEM version of Windows can mean trouble. Is this related to the i386 error?
