anyone know how to create an XP boot disk using a flash drive?...I'm trying to flash my BIOS, which I normally do through a floppy, but the BIOS file is too large to fit on a floppy...so I now need to be able to create a boot disk using my flash drive...I want to use it as a MS DOS start up disk, so I can boot from it...So, how do I go about formatting it with MS-DOS (like option when you format a floppy disk under XP and it has Create an MS-DOS startup disk)...anyone have any step by step instructions?
 
HP has a utility (gotta find it....but you can prolly just google it) that formats your USB stick as a bootable drive. I use it for systems @ work when I need something quickly done.

or you can put the bios file in the root of c: and point the flash utility to that location.
