bootable USB drive?

stinger608 · Mar 23, 2012

Trying to find a SIMPLE frigging solution to making a bootable USfriggingB drive!!!!!

God, searching there is all this bullshit online with this program, and that frigging program and none of it is worth a shit!!!!

Don't need no damn windows 7 crap on the drive as it will be used to flash a video card.

Simple is the solution here, so if you ya got something that works shoot it my way.

needs to be set as FAT32 and I use the HP boot utility or the old school way of the CMD window

Thanks to everyone that replied!!! I actually used this link and it worked great.

What I was doing was attempting a flash on a GTX465 PNY video card. Thanks to the above link I was able to get the bootable USB flash drive, and successfully flashed the 465 to a full blown 1280mb GTX470. :rockout:
