My HP laptop supports booting from a USB memory stick, or USB Disk/CD/DVD. Unfortunately the internal hard drive in now in the freezer and I'm waiting for a new one from someone who hopefully speaks understandable English. Sadly tough, they don't seem to want me to bill them for the time it will take me to install the "original factory settings" on the new completely bare disk that might arrive tomorrow. Or might not. though they do seem to have good response time. Funny I had no problems with the disk until they fixed the power connector. :'/
So maybe you should look at PCs instead of Macs, and beware HP technicians working on your PC?

Seems that if you have a copy of super duper you can create an image that you are able to boot from USB hard drive. It just doesn't work other wise it seems. If you noticed the apple link that USB drives aren't even supported for PPC platform either (Documentation creation was Sept. 2001). _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list Kclug@kclug.org http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
