To everybody it might interest. Edited 10 sept 2008
Statement: This is far from any elegant solution. This workaround only gives EasyBoot-fans a little taste how it could be - having EasyBoot running from USB device. Been waiting and thinking for several months now if I at all should discuss this matter – but here it is. Again I must point out that this is NOT a good solution, but it works partly.
I have managed to start EasyBoot from USB-device. Tested this on 3 different USB-sticks. One 4 Gb, one 512 Mb in size, and finally tested on my Digital Camera-Sony memory stick-512 Mb (using separate multi-memory/sim card reader stuck in to USB connector).
READ THIS: There is still no 100% standard using USB devices. On some motherboards it works and in some not. It’s a mess out there with different motherboards and different bios. And finally, you need a computer that support booting from USB.
You must (or recommends) use NTFS as file system on USB device - otherwise it’s common to get this: “Error60: File for drive emulation must be in one contiguous disk area”. ---------------------------- Credits to all out there that made this possible.
