Help on making a startup disk using a usb memory key

[jjlee101]

I know it can be done but how do I make my usb memory key startup into ms-dos like I can with floppies. I got rid of my floppy and need to update my MB bios. Thanks for any help.

Your BIOS has to support booting from a USB drive. If so, then all you have to do is format it, do a SYS X:, and copy over your mobo update. SYS.COM is only available on Win9x machines, however, so you'll may need temporary access to one.

I wrote a version that works on Win2k/XP but I won't have access to it until next week It's pretty trivial so I'm surprised no one has done it already.

I don't have a win me/95 system around. Is there another way?
