How to boot from pendrive?

freebird_9924 · Feb 3, 2010, 08:56 AM

Hello,
I want to boot one dvd but my dvd drive isnt able to read any datadvds.
i dont know y.
it can read movie dvds..some times blank dvds too and if i write on those blank dvds and then insert in dvdrw drive, it doesnt read..it reads all cds though..

so i want to boot one dvd but as it isnt working, i copied dvd to pendrive and want to boot from pendrive..

how to do that?

i tried to change boot order in bios but it's not booting from pendrive..

or give me solution so that my dvd rw driv will read all dvds..

previously due to this problem,i've also replaced drive but it doesnt solve problem and so HP guys told it's OS problem.
If i'll format my and reinstall OS, it'll work.

My notebook : HP notebook dv6226tx, windoes vista home premium

you would need to format an make the pen drive bootable then add the files. there is a HP tool around the net for free. Remember google is always your friend

Cool. One thing that got me at first was in BIOS I had to set both "boot other device" to enabled as well as change the Hard Disk Boot Priority to maker the thumb drive first.
