Allegedly, a boot USB thumb drive might be a winner here. There are several Windows mechanisms for building such a device (even for Linux), and some Linux mechanisms - Slackware, for example, will make a bootable USB thumb drive, and I'm sure that other distros can too. Note that this requires USB, and also will obliterate any data on that USB drive. Ben -- Ben Stern This email does not represent FTI, even if I claim it does. Neener neener.
