Issues with making my sandisk cruzer bootable (I think )

Hello All,


About a month ago I had inquired about how to flash my BIOS without having a floppy drive on my P6T-WS. Someone responde ( forget his name) with some very helpful information about making a flash drive bootable and a link to a HP flash drive formatting tool with the dos system files to make the flash drive bootable. So I finally had enough time yesterday ( just got done with finals) to download the program and give it a shot.

Unfortunately, it didn't seem to work, I think this may have more to do with the sandisk cruzer utility than the HP formatting tool. But I am not sure here is what did and the results:

- I poped in the cruzer after download the HP formatting utility and stored anything I wanted to keep on my C:

- Deleted and closed the dumb cruzer utility that comes with the flash drive

- Ran the HP utility and formatted ( first try with FAT 16) along with adding the system files

- everything from this point was successful

-added the BIOS.rom file

- Shut down comp and turned back on to get into bios went to tools EZ flash II and searched for the flash drive directory, only saw C ( my HDD) and D ( my DVD burner) no flash drive directory

- hit esc went into bios to check/change boot devices and priority saw sandisk cruzer (e), HDD, and DVD

- Changed priority to cruzer saved and exited

- back into the bios tried again nothing

So, Now I went back into windows checked the flash drive directory eveything was gone except the BIOS.rom file and the cruzer utility somehow resurfaced.


So now, I reload defaults in BIOS rinse and repeat except FAT32 this time same story

Should I be using NTFS?

How is the cruzer utility resurfacing?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks again for all the prior help and thanks in advance for any help with the new problem!
