USB ISO BOOTING
Last response: in Storage
Hello, I copied a windows 7 iso file to a usb drive (properly, I know it works because i reformatted my friends netbook with this usb.) however now when i try to boot up the usb on my own laptop the screen just stays black with that little blinking bios underscore like im about to type... _ <---- like that.... anyways i have a Dell Inspiron 1420 windows 7 ultimate PC and i just want to reformat it... any ideas on what could be wrong?
More about : usb iso booting
how do i check if it supports booting from usb? I mean I can select it from a list of boot devices when i press f 12... and when theres no usb plugged in it doesn't show it as an option on the list so it definitely recognizes a USB source in the least. But i don't know how to check it, If you could let me in on it?
EDIT: i checked my BIOS and theres an option (which is turned on) to do with USB emulation. That means it supports USB right?
EDIT:well I would be more then happy to try another way of redoing my USB to make it bootable and copying an ISO file to there.. So far i have been using win2flash but if anyone can show another method id be more than happy.

i think its a compatibility issue.
