I believe some BIOSes allow a usb storage device to be used as a hard
drive device or as a removable media device. If it is set for use as a
hard drive device, XP might not have liked the FAT format. This is just a
WAG however.
Doesn't seem to affect my usb devices like that & I'm reasonably sure those
settings are for booting only. For example the only time I can get this one
system to see my usb pen drive as a boot device is when I set in the bios
to boot from a usb zip drive and the other settings of USB FDD, USB HD &
USB CD don't even attempt to access the pen drive at all. I sure wish I
could get my pen drive to boot XpPe but even if I do get that to happen it
probably won't work on all machines because of the differences in the
various bioses (sp?).
