I made a USB boot disk with USB-ZIP format, but after booting on different machines, there are different drive letters. Some machines have a\:, and some have c:\, which causes confusion in path settings. How can this be solved?

Are you sure that the boot mode in the BIOS of different machines is all set to USB-ZIP mode? If set to USB-HDD mode, it will boot to C:

Now many machines do not have options like USB-ZIP. The boot options directly show the name of the mobile device. For example, in my machine, under the 1st device, there is only MINIKING (my USB flash drive), and there are no other options. After booting, it is a:. The company's computer is c:, and I am sure I made it in USB-ZIP format.

This is caused by the poor USB boot compatibility of BIOS. It's lucky that you can boot on both computers. There are still many computers that may not be able to boot your USB drive at all. So if you want good compatibility, don't make USB boot, use CD or floppy disk boot.

The floppy disk has too small capacity, and the CD hasn't been burned yet. Is there any way?

Some machines simply don't support USB booting, still burn a CD bootable disk, and bring a USB flash drive, it's safe everywhere ~ :)
