yes, my motherboard having the option to boot from usb pen drive.i am having the lenovo y series laptop. basically i am service engineer. in my show room we are having all the types of computers if you tell me i will try

copy the windows cd to the drive, and startup with usb in teh boot order before hdd, the drive may boot all on it's own. If that doesn't work, you will need to create a boot disk with command.com and dos usb drivers to load the 16 bit installer located in the i386 folder on the drive.

Note: You have to make the flash drive bootable and the only software that can do that is now innexistant. used to be from hp. eventually I had to trick my pc into thinking my pen drive was a CD and tell it to make it bootable! Just so you know I found that this task was VERY tricky.

If you need any help or have some problems email me on bgreggsmith@live.co.uk

that is if you havent got it yet. and I bet Lurkswithin will come along and say: let old threads die a peaceful death or something like it.
