I have seen tutorials on making a USB drive bootable, and I always thought it was interesting. I tried it the other night and failed every time
I can't remember which tutorials I tried out, so sorry for not giving references to check upon. But I used the hp bootable usb program (don't remember the name), and a windows 98 startup disk (I don't have a floppy drive, I got the image file online). I formatted and then copied the files needed to boot, but every time I got the message "ntldr missing". I checked every time and it was there.
The only thing I can think of is that in the boot.ini file or any of the boot reference files I found, it specifically refers to the A: drive, and I couldn't think of what to rename it to, because the drive letter will vary depending on what computer is used. Anyone have a straightforward tutorial or tips to get this working?
Thanks.
P.S.
I did change the boot order, so don't ask. I have a 2 gig drive, and tried formatting it in fat16 and 32.
