Fail Load Boot Sector

R Ringma · September 18, 2009, 08:49:19 AM

hello again

when i have an fresh installation of win98se/dos on my usb (bootable) he will start proper with plop. but when i turn the computer of and turn it back on again, the usb boot hangs at LOAD BOOT SECTOR.

ive tried the plop unloader for the usb driver, it says the driver is disabled, so it does its job. but when i turn the computer of and on again, problem stays the same.

so everytime i must reinstall win98 on the usb.

do you have an idea why it hangs?

Maybe we don't understand each other. Let me explain the problem again.

I have your PLoP on a floppy, I have a USB with Windows98SE with Ghost.

The first time:

- PLoP start from the floppy
- I choose the USB option
- It regonizes the USB
- It loading the boot sector
- Starts Win98 and Ghost

All works fine, but when I turn the computer of or disable the USB Driver and turn the computer of, I think the boot sector is destroyed/corrupt.

Second time (proberbly bootsector destroyed):

- PLoP start
- I choose USB
- It regonizes my USB
- But when it tries to load the boot sector it freezes

Only the second, thirth, etc. this happends.
