Help with IBM R51
i have 2 differnt IBM models that both do the samething. I can boot using a CD but when I try booting using the USB all that happens is it show the syslinux im using and the boot prompt never comes. If anyone can help that would be great. Also i can use the usb to boot about 20 other differnt PC and laptops, not IBM.
Try to replace your syslinux version.
Extract the ubcd iso to c:\ubcd.
Download syslinux from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/.
Extract the syslinux archive to "c:\syslinux\".
To update syslinux for the bootable USB key
- Copy "c:\syslinux\ldlinux.sys" to "c:\ubcd\syslinux\".
- Copy "c:\syslinux\mbr\mbr.bin" and "c:\syslinux\ldloader.bss" to "c:\ubcd\tools\ubcd2usb\".
Remake your usb thumb drive with the script.
OR instead run syslinux.exe from c:\syslinux\win32
Replace x: with the drive letter for your thumb drive.
