bootable media:

How can I make my USB key

bootable?

Search support.dell.com for the Dell Boot Utility, a

Windows program you can use to make your Dell

USB key bootable.

You can also boot with a Windows 98 startup disk

and copy system files from the startup disk to your

USB key. For example, from the DOS prompt,

enter the following command:

sys a:

: /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 Web browser, navigate to the Dell

Support website located at support.dell.com,

and search for R122672.exe.
