Interesting, Garmoon.
Can anybody tell me how to make a flash drive bootable? My motherboard supports booting from either of my flash drives, and I can set it as the default boot drive, but I can't find anything on making the drive itself bootable. I can access the drive, but all I get is an error message. What preparation is needed to the flash drive to make it boot so I can flash my AD-7240s as I no longer have a floppy installed. I loaded everything into the Flash drive, but it won't boot! Any ideas or suggestions?
TIA,
Russ

That's strange garmoon. My backup plays and looks extremely similar to the original.
To delete, or not to delete. THAT is the question! |

Russ, here you go ~ it's somewhere in here ~ http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/774914/4692005 - have a read thru that, it's really easy.
Thanks creaky, but unfortunately all the information has to do with Ubuntu or Puppy Linux. I'm needing it for XP-Pro so I can flash my AD-7240s. I even made a boot disk for XP, but it can't access anything but what is on the bootable CD. Thanks anyway.

creaky,
Actually I have a flash drive set up and formated with the HP format tool, but I need to transfer the BOOT.INI file, and it doesn't show up in a search of my C drive, or from the XP CD! If I could find it, I'm pretty sure I could get it working. Explorer is configured to show hidden files, but it just isn't there. I'm almost willing to bet that it's there, but under a different name!

No I didn't make her pay, but I wanted to cry. I only have eight 2.4X Verb MIS +R DLs left. Can these still be had???
My copies of HBP were just like the original. Mine were on verbs-SL&DL, and hers was F16 ritek. I think, it being highly compressed, had something to do with the darkness. I never really watched the SL version, but my DL version was normal.

Russ - i don't think the HP format tool makes the flash drive bootable though, hence why you use something such as unetbootin.
garmoon - HBP is indeed (visually) dark, comments from the Bluray disc here
I've seen screenshots from a 4GB Bluray rip too, so i know it is a very dark movie.

a little off topic here, but, coolermaster looks like they have made one of there best cases a little better..
there is now a coolermaster RC690 II. pretty much the same fetures but some added stuff. all black interior, ssd slots. redesign of the front and top of the case. as well too the mobo tray now has a cut out where you can mount your cooler without takeing out the mobo... its not as cheap as i got my 690 but it is about the same price as its original case.

4 liteon LH-18A1S would look great in this case yes i said 18x best damn drive i have had..lol

Greeny, that case looks nice in that pic and isa nice case.. but from knowing what you have in your case like mine it is small. small inside.with 1 odd and 2 hdd and a big 5770 gpu there is no room to do anything in there. if you load it up with 5 odd's and 4-5 hdds with the wiring there would be one heck of a rats nest in there..
the guy i work with here he is the one with it and the Q9550, UD3P mobo, and the XfX 5770 card and it is small... looks super sharp running...
where have you seen the LH-18A1P/S's at? how much? not on ebay either..lol

I don't remember whether my LH-20A1S was refurbished or new. I think it was new. Or at least they said it was. It had the look that it had been handled before. It has already payed for itself. And I paid over 40$ for it :) Good lite-on drives are worth it to me. I paid 60 for my LH-20A1H well over 1 year ago at officemax. Its still kicking quite well. :)

my 20A1S i think i paid $27.99 shipped and mt 18A1P was $25.00 with like $5 shipping. both from the egg. i dont see anyone standing out like in the past. they all are rebadgeing themselves as other drives. so you dont knwo what the heck you are getting. sonys with mediatek chips and liteons with NEC chips in them. LG's with both chips in different versions????? sounds like to me someone bought up the drive manufactures and just making 1 big monopoly out of the situation..lol yea i know conspericay theory..lol

Awesome! If it weren't for the higher spike, it would have only been 20 Failures. Not bad at all for a COMPLETE burn. Every megabyte used :)

@omega
Bummer! Still a 95, enough to pi$$ a man off. Sorry buddy, but, LMAO, been there done that. Why I don't scan often. May have to start burning with my 20A1S. Thanks greensman for splaining which good drives to get. Right now I got 3 of them.
@cincy
All these good drives are gonna last a while, hopefully. Right now I got a spare 7200S to replace my 7240S if it gives up the ghost!
@all
Go Aints Go!

Ho ho! You were saying garmoon :) Pretty ironic if you ask me. There's the 20 Failures that I spoke of ROFL! 100% legit, believe what you will ;) This makes my best burn of all time. Though i'm sure if I were to rescan, it would change.
Looks like it's learning the media quite nicely :D

what im impressed with is your overall buffer rate. 97-99%, 97-100% nothing bothering the drive as you burn, that to me is what makes the burn better. jm2c.... and those burns are great. gotta love those TY's and that sexy azz 20A1S. compared to your other burns you have posted on the other drives (when you were thinking you had mobo issues)look at your total PIE's your like 75% less on the 20A1S than your other drives....think thats a coincidence??? not, not me at all. i think my 7200S is awsome but not as awsome as my dearly departed 20A1S...lol damn someone sounds like a litey fanboy....lol
