Thread: How to boot from pendrive?

Hello,
I want to boot one dvd but my dvd drive isnt able to read any datadvds.
i dont know y.
it can read movie dvds..some times blank dvds too and if i write on those blank dvds and then insert in dvdrw drive, it doesnt read..it reads all cds though..

so i want to boot one dvd but as it isnt working, i copied dvd to pendrive and want to boot from pendrive..

how to do that?

i tried to change boot order in bios but it's not booting from pendrive..

or give me solution so that my dvd rw driv will read all dvds..


previously due to this problem,i've also replaced drive but it doesnt solve problem and so HP guys told it's OS problem.
If i'll format my and reinstall OS, it'll work.

My notebook : HP notebook dv6226tx, windoes vista home premium

Install one of the virtual dvd players which you can use to run a dvd off your memory stick or hard drive..

One I have used before is Magic disk by Magiciso.com and it worked well with no issues.

i use poweriso for virtual dvd but it wont boot dvd.

magiciso u told,will it boot virtual dvds too?

Yes it should do .... it boots games very well.... I use it to make response times faster but have never tried booting an OS or anything using magic iso.

I am sure there are members here who would be able to give you a better reply then I have given.... give it some time

I have two question before I provide the solution.

• Are you trying to boot a LINUX live CD/DVD

or

• Are you trying to boot a windows installer CD/DVD

Thanks.
