Booting with a USB CD drive
Posted: Tue Apr 21, 2009 12:22 am
Is it possible to use UBCD to make my USB CD drive recognizable on boot? My current laptop cd/dvd drive is shot and I need to reinstall windows. My bios does recognize my 1 gig USB stick to boot just not my USB CD drive. Also, is there a method that I can use to format my NTSF drive and partition it using UBCD? All I seem to see is support for FAT/32. One more thing. I have 2 vital documents on my hard drive that I would like to recover. Problem is when I try to access their folders in the DOS prompt it wont let me. I never had any password protection set in windows so I am wondering why that is so. Any info would be appreciated. I cant get into windows, I get a black screen right after bios and memory check screen is done. I think its a virus that screwed up my boot file ( if there's a way to fix this please enlighten me so I wont even need to address all the questions I asked earlier if I can get into windows vista).
