Teddy, please do us a favor, and download RUFUS, run it (from Windows), and let it write to a (spare, unused) USB pen/jump drive: http://rufus.akeo.ie/ Or you could try UNetBootIn: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ Or even (non-DOS but Linux) Fedora LiveUSB: https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ Most modern computers (esp. after Pentium 4 era) should be able to boot from USB without any help (i.e. not needing PLoP Boot Manager). http://www.plop.at/ To be honest, I'm really not understanding the problem. What exactly are you trying to boot (which OS), and why? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
