I was looking for some DS3 overclocking articles, and ran across that as well. I believe that it was Anandtech/toms/xbitlabs article on overclocking the DS3 that listed an HP utility that would make the drive bootable. you format the drive with the utility and put your boot files on there. I read it just this morning, and immediately downloaded the utility.... I may try it tonight with the F10 bios.

At the very list, I am going to try to boot a flash drive.
