FlashBoot 2.3a + Portable | 44.06 MB
FlashBoot is a tool to make USB storage devices bootable. FlashBoot supports USB thumbdrives and USB HDDs. FlashBoot partitions, formats USB storage device and then automatically installs operating system files to it. Supported operating systems: ShiChuang 8/7/Vista/XP, SysLinux-based disks, GRUB4DOS disks, Linux kernel etc. You may create blank bootable USB flash with minimal set of system files and then manually tune it for your needs, or convert a full-featured bootable CD-ROM or floppy disk to bootable USB Flash keeping all functionality.



Why do you might want to use bootable USB flash disks?
Unlike the most bootable medias, bootable USB Flash keys are very handy: compared to floppies, they have much bigger size, speed and reliability, compared to CD/DVD discs, they are random write access devices, so you can backup your data to the same media where you booted from, without need to reformat (reburn) the entire media. Again, the cost per gigabyte for them continues to cut down, unlike CD/DVD discs.
Bootable USB flash disks are especially useful with netbooks like ASUS Eee PC which does not have builtin CD/DVD drive or an opportunity to install one. On the other hand, buying external CD/DVD drive for netbook is not a truly wise choice because it will be shifted out of use just after ShiChuang is installed, thanks to widespread use of DVD image files and modern hard disk capacities.
Bootable USB flash disks are useful as boot devices on the big desktop PCs too, unlike CD/DVD discs they do not have sensible surface you could scratch, thus more reliable (especially when holding your backup data). If your sysadmin at work restricts PC to not to have CD/DVD drives, you still can boot from USB flash disk. Or if your home PC has CD/DVD drive failed, you can do it too.
There are some mobility considerations as well. If your laptop has a bootable CD/DVD drive, you can not work with it for a long time: boot device is accessed quite often, and battery power is obviously not enough to supply laser for a long time.
With bootable USB Flash disk, you do not have to obey a CD/DVD size limit of 700 or 4700 MB. You can buy a big or a small USB disk depending on your needs. Just after boot, on every PC, you may save your files to the same boot device, or restore them back. Theres no need to reformat (reburn) the boot disk, you just copy files and folders, and theres no need for extra hardware for such operations. Of course you may do some things you can not do under your OS: copy/modify system files (they are busy when OS is running), reinstall OS, repartition your main hard disk etc.
Changelog
Error messages for rejected input CDs/DVDs or ISO files have been improved. Now these error messages contain full list of required files and folders.
