I bought a USB flash drive. I used Win98 to format it and COPY the system files to make it bootable, but it still can't boot into DOS. My motherboard supports USB-FDD,HDD.ZIP booting. After using the boot disk creation tool that came with it, only making it boot as HDD can get into DOS. The others all don't work... I came here to ask all the experts for help... please help

Not all USB flash drives can get a DOS boot sector just by formatting them??? Even if it has a boot sector, can't it still be made into a boot disk??? Is the real problem with HDD, FDD, ZIP...??? As for what a USB flash drive actually is, or rather which of HDD, FDD, ZIP... it supports, what determines that??? Please explain HDD, FDD, ZIP... in detail!!!

Absolutely not!!!! Some absolutely have to use the boot disk creation program that comes with them!!!! For example, the USB flash drive I'm using right now is this type!
