I am using BIOS release 2.7,
11/22/2004-nVidia-nForce-6A61BA1BC-27
and the Advance BIOS screen is different from the manual
BIOS screen. There is no "removable devices priority"
in ver 2.7 instead there are
First Boot Device {List of devices}
Second Boot Device
Third Boot Device
Boot Other Device (Enable/Disable)
List of Devices: { Floppy, LS120, HDD-0,SCSI,CDROM, HDD-1,
HDD-2, HDD-3,ZIP100, LAN, Serial ATA, Disabled }
I have tried LS120, ZIP100, SCSI and enabled "Boot Other Device"
but all did not work.
I have a Kingston 512MB USB 2.0 DataTraveller pen drive
which I tried to make bootable using Bart's mkbt.exe and
boot files from a winXP created ms-dos startup diskette.
Boot files=bootsect.bin, io.sys, msdos.sys,command.com.
The label on the pendrive show DTI/512 05279-036.A00LF.
Anyone has any success on making this pen drive bootable?
TIA,

Most BIOSes seem to recognize USB sticks as hard drives. The only way to
boot from one that I have found is to start the computer with the USB
attached and get into the BIOS to change the hard drive priority to set the
USB stick as the first. Obviously not a convenient method if you need to
boot from USB on a regular basis. Other brands of motherboards with a
Function Key to bring up a Boot Menu make this far easier. >> Stay informed about: Does the NF7-S ver 2.0 support a bootable USB pen drive? |

Thanks but I have tried booting with the USB stick already plugged in
before powering up. Tried the likely boot devices(LS120, LSZIP,SCSI)
since there is no "USB device" option. Also enable boot other devices
but no go. Have email "contact-us" Abit & Kingston(DataTraveler 512MB)
asking whether the mobo/pen drive is bootable.

The BIOS of your 7S v2 is obviously even more ancient than that of my 7S2G
and lacking the setting for Hard disk boot priority. Since USB sticks are
usually recognized as Hard drives I'd be tempted to try setting the first
boot device to HDD-1 assuming you only have the one HD (HDD-0), adjust
according to the number of HD you have. >> Stay informed about: Does the NF7-S ver 2.0 support a bootable USB pen drive? |

I got a reply from Kingston:
" We are sorry to inform you all Kingston usb drives do not support bootable
function, including your DTI/512. It only can be used for a normal usb
storage memory card."
I wonder how true the above is.
Anyone got ANY Kingston usb pen drives to BOOT?
Abit autoreply was just an acknowledgment of receipt.
Still waiting for their "technical" reply.

Got Abit's tech. reply:
"Thanks for your mail.
About this problem,because the NF7 mainboard didn't support
boot from USB flashdisk function, so it didn't boot USB device."
So both my mobo & pen drive do not support bootable USB device.

Yes, I have read thru and downloaded a few utilities:Bart's mkbt.exe,
Hiren's site, HP's utility and a few other sites
I was doubful about Kingston's reply anyway.
I need to find a motherboard which does support bootable USB
pen drive and try booting from it.
Thank you for all the replies.
