A couple of notes for this thread. Some BIOS's will not show the option for booting from a USB device if the device isn't plugged in when first booted. I have 2005 ASUS motherboards in my classroom that do this. I've also seen some newer machines that will show the option with the F12 boot function key is pressed. Last note, with my g4l projects I show my students how I can wipe a disks and then completely restore the system in about 40 minutes with a replacement disk or to the same disk. +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
