Has anyone found a solution to booting from USB flash drives? Been trying to boot into a confirmed working Win7 installer on my 8GB flash drive. Tried all sorts of things and can't get it to work, I get a "Disk Read error, press CTRL-ALT-Del to restart" error. Thoughts?

i have the same install on a Corsair GT 16GB pen drive no problems, i use HP's software util here...

Wow, cheers man. I'll definitely be sure to give this a shot when I get back home. Been searching for ages for FAT32 bootable files.

Anyone running OCZ LV Blades or Platinums PC2-9200 (DDR2-1150) and if so, can you run them @ 1200 MHz on the 500 FSB?

I couldn't get mine stable no matter what I tried at 500. I am stuck @ 495 x 8.5 memory running at 1188MHz. I just tried this last night by the way. After trying it I had to retweak my original GTL settings to get them to act stable again. I had to adjust my gtl settings on my CPU up a couple of notches showing the motherboard I was close to the right setting then back it back down to the original setting and then it started acting stable again. This board is weird how it acts but, whatever. Maybe this is normal behavior and I just have never payed attention to it before. Hope this helps you some how.

Your running the LV's @ 2.0v? I thought they didn't like being overvolted passed stk 1.80v?

[Gameman]

anybody got any user opinions on the one level lower motherboard - by
Gigabyte...the UD3L?????

Does it even hold a candle to the UD3R or UD3P????
fsb-wise or are the tweaks in the bios way more limited...

Cause I got an opportunity to get one for free....that's the only reason....and no the UD3R or 3P isn't available...

should I take it????

Thanks

Actually I bumped mine up to 2.10 and I'm running the memory reference at .80. When I set my voltage for them to 1.80 my PC won't boot. I think it has something directly to do with the fact that the board sets the wrong reference for the memory thus leading to instability when set to 1.80. I could probably get them to run at 1.80 by messing with the reference voltage enough but, I was able to get them stable where I have them so, I don't care to much. Plus I have a pretty powerful fan blowing on them and the north bridge making everything run really cool so, I don't think I have to worry about it so much.

There's no cooling on the mosfets like the P and R, and there is only a 4-pin CPU power connection like the P and R. BIOS doesn't have as many options, but still overclockable...look at my WorkPC in my sig. It's @ 500 fsb, although it's the DDR3 version. For free give it a whirl

Tried it your way but it didn't take, all it did was flash the Windows 98 loading screen and then went to a C:\ command prompt

Tell me what are you trying to do...install W7 from the pen drive for ex ?

Cheers

Trying to install win7 from a flash drive, specifically an 8GB OCZ ATV drive.

If it dont work i quit

I'm fairly certain I've followed that to a T- but I'll give it a try again the next time I do it. I keep getting the "disk read error" message when trying to boot using that type of guide. Thanks for your help!

i linked the good one not the other...i tried on other pen drivers and works as a charm

Dang, I guess I'll just have to do it via DVD drive from now on. Either that or set up a network install
