Why can't Microsoft release something like this. I used the link Damien Stolarz provided <a href="http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/hpcpqdt/us/download/20306.html" rel="nofollow">http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/hpcpqdt/us/download/20306.html</a> and it worked like a trooper. I tried it on both 1.1 and 2.0 usb and on a Scandisk 32MB witha ZiOl Microtech CF reader/writer with no issues also I tried it on a Flash Voyeger from corsair memory products with no issue. PLEASE NOTE is you use the make floppy drive boot option it will repartition the flash to 1.44mb so it is treated as a boot floopy I don't know what happens to the rest of the space.
