1. build your easyboot project as usual but don't make the iso.

2.  The bootsector (call it bootloader too) is the file loader.bin found in "c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot". Keep it in your mind.

3. Set your bios to boot from usb external devices. Be sure that your bios supports booting from usb.

4. Be sure that all contents of your easyboot "c:\easyboot\disk1" fits in your flashpen.

5. Format flashpen under winxp in fat/fat16.

6. Inject the bootloader (=bootsector= loader.bin) in your flashpen to make it bootable by special methods described in this link bootdisk.com/pendrive
It has many ways.

For the first method, Bart's mkbt, by-pass the floppy making step because bootsector is already done (=loader.bin).
So,
CODE
Copy the bootsector to the flash drive. Open a DOS Window and go to the folder where you extracted MKBT. Type:
mkbt -x bootsect.bin Z:
"Z" represents the flash drive drive Letter. So if your flash drive has another drive letter, then change the "Z" accordingly.
Now you can [grin] "should" be able to copy the utils you need to the pen drive.


- download the mkbt tool from bart's mkbt

sorry, I don't know about the error. Mkbt worked for me.

It says "FileSys="ess any" ...... what is wrong with file system? Fat or fat16 should work. Is mkbt and loader.bin in the flashpen?

Try the second way with Hewlett Packard utility. I read that it works.

some weeks ago, i had made it in a friend's 256 mb flashpen. Yesterday, i tried to make it in my own 2gb flashpen and i have the same errors with you. Maybe, flashpen need to be FEDITed and set an active partition... I tell you when i 'll have news.

Until I find why Bart's mkbt makes errors, try sth else that I just though.

-Open Winimage.

- Go to menu options > winimage mode selection, where chose professional mode. It says that winimage gets in trial mode, ignore it.

- Go to menu disk > use removeable disk H: , or whatever letter suits for your flashpen.
*Be careful not selecting hard disks C:, D: ....

- Go to menu Master boot record code properties . Select the physical drive that appears usb2. Click import and select the loader.bin from ezboot folder.
*be careful in this window, don't check "include non removable harddisks " or you may harm your hard disk' mbr and cant boot your pc.

- Choose "YES" in the question : "Do you want to rewrite the MBR of disk memory USB2?"

- If winimage ask you to format the flashpen saying that flashpen's format is not compatible, let winimage format the flashkey.

- Just to test if this method works, copy the ezboot folder only in flashpen and reboot your pc.  If it works, easyboot screen should appear.  


Let me know what is done.

not yet . I can't find  why  mkbt worked in a small 256mb  flashpen with BartPE but can't do the job in the bigger 2gb flashkey. Maybe the different  manufacture technologies are to blame. Booting flashpens is a new stuff and there is no experience for it. I still try to find solution.
