My motherboard is an EPoX i865 ep-4pdai, the CPU is a P4 Celeron 2.0ghz, and the memory is Kingston 256mb DDR/400. The system is dual-boot (win 98 and win xp). The flash memory is a 32mb Samsung Mobile Intelligent King, and it can be made into a boot disk. I couldn't find anything in the motherboard manual about support for booting from flash memory, but in the BIOS I can see booting the system with USB-HDT and USB-ZIP. I used the CD that came with the flash memory to reformat it as a bootable boot disk, but I still can't boot the system from the flash memory; even under a single-boot setup (WIN ME) it still can't boot from the flash memory! So does that mean my motherboard does not support booting from flash memory? How should I set it up? Also, how do I set it up to use flash memory under the DOS environment?
