Hallo, Sven,

Du meintest am 17.11.10:

Then it's a BIOS problem.
Some BIOSes allow USB floppy (or superfloppy), without any partition
Some BIOSes allow ZIP HD, what means partition 4
Some BIOSes allow only HD

And there are mixes of these possibilities. Sometimes you get the  
jackpot.

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
