Bootable USB flash drive doesn't boot...

[mfeingol]

Wondering if I'm the only one who has this problem.

I downloaded the image for creating a bootable USB Drive from http://www.memtest86.com/downloads/m...86-usb.img.zip. I ran imageUSB.exe and successfully wrote the .img file to an old 120MB flash drive I had sitting around.

The write process succeeded. The drive looks like a 1.4MB FAT-formatted floppy with some syslinux stuff on it.

However, when I try to boot a computer using the flash drive, the BIOS doesn't seem to think the drive is bootable. I can boot from other flash drives just fine and I've booted MemTest86+ from the same flash drive. It's just this particular .img doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks.

We aren't aware of anyone else having this problem.

Can you give it a go with a 2nd flash drive.

I wrote a second flash drive (1GB) and it worked. Then I wrote the 120MB drive again and it worked as well. I guess we can attribute this to user error. Thanks for your reply.
