206 Using and Configuring Virtual Media
How can I make my USB key
bootable?
Only USB keys with Windows 98 DOS can
boot from the Virtual Floppy. To configure
your own bootable USB key, boot to a
Windows 98 startup disk and copy system
files from the startup disk to your USB key.
For example, from the DOS prompt, type the
following command:
sys a: x: /s
where "x:" is the USB key you want to make
bootable.
You can also use the Dell boot utility to create
a bootable USB key. This utility is only
compatible with Dell-branded USB keys. To
download the utility, open a supported Web
browser, navigate to the Dell Support website
located at support.dell.com, and search for
"R122672.exe."
