Great Success for getting Sandisk Cruzer Micro booting:urizan wrote:Hi Forum,
Tried rebooting into Sandisk Micro Cruzer install from a second computer today without success... compared a 128MB Lexar usb flash drive which definitely boots from bios.
Any insights would be appreciated much.

Here is a rough how to do it for said device.
1. http://www.u3.com/uninstall/ is a free download for removing the U3 craptition.
2. http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Har ... Tool.shtml is a free download for what is known as "Low Level Format" tool. I know it zeros said devices' MBR in my hands.
3. Once step 1-2 .exe apps are used on said device in an MS environment it is time to print this link, http://www.puppylinux.org/wikka/USBKeysTroubleBooting, and change the number of sectors per track to 32.
4. Install Puppy so that syslinux boot files appear on said device.
I now have three 2GB Sandisk Cruzer Micros and one 1GB Sandisk Cruzer Micro that boot from power on or as virtuals through what is referred to as "Qemu Puppy".
I write this here in case I forget how I did this or I hope this saves someone a lot of time next time.
Best for 08!
