Do we need to disable the Hard drive also in the BIOS setup to install or can we leave it as it is and continue with booting. Im getting Hard drive configuration error. No clue what to do. Please let me know what are the exact changes that need to be done in BIOS set up so that i can go ahead with the installation.

Hi! Just followed instructions to make a bootable USB Flash trick an old computer into thinking it is a USB-ZIP so it will be bootable on old comp. Problem is I don't know how to extract Knoppix 6.2 onto the bootable disk without formatting it, so that Knoppix 6.2 will boot off the Flash.

Very nice article and seems to work.
but the problem is that I don't have a bootable win98 CD, and my computer does not have a fdd.
i downloaded the img files from bootdisk.com but the utility that i was using does not recognize the img.

I believe the tool for Linux is called SYSLinux. Allows bootable USB and CDs.

I have a 1GB USB key with 4 partitions, in order:

Linux
UBCD
DOS
Misc

I’ve got GRUB working to allow me to boot SysLinuxOS from the first partition and some DOS diskette images from the third. What I’d also like to do is put the contents of the Ultimate Boot CD on the second partition, so that I can boot to it accessing its contents from the USB stick. Does anyone know how I can go about this?

Thanks.
