You're funny! :) Yeah, i tried to sneak the question in so that I 
wouldn't get static. The bios has it reporting as "Booting from USB 
FDD". But like i said the nexdisk usb flash "drive" works great, but the 
others fail miserably (64MB). How do I find out the drive's CHS? The 
128MB flash drive is something like 1024 cylinders (or at least that's 
what linux's fdisk thinks.)
