I've spent several days trying to get this to work..
Would like to boot windows CD image/media from USB since the
computers being used only have a floppy and HDD.
One thing that confuses me while reading through the forum is that apparently
people are using thumb/flash USB drives (which I tried first) it starts to boot
but just goes to a black screen and hangs each time..
Same with usb 1.1 set.
Okay well after reading the entire website noticed that section 12.
says "Only USB mass storage devices are supported. The USB support allows to boot from usb harddisk, usb sticks and usb cardreaders. USB floppys and CD/DVD drives are not working. "
Great.. no problem that explains why it's not working.. *USB flash/thumb drives don't work*
As is well documented on the site.
OK so I try this all over again with an actual USB/IDE HARD DISK and still does not work but get a black screen whte text that reads "Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart.
I am using wintoflash software to setup my USB drives from actual Windows setup CDs.. I have also tested that both my usb thumb drives and USB connected HARD disk we are talking about here boot and work properly on another computer that has usb boot support in bios.. have tried PLOP both from Floppy and installed in MBR on the hard drive in the computer. (built-in IDE). Aam using Latest release PLOP plpbt-5.0.8.zip 2010-01-18 as per website download section.
Any help or suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!
