The one thing one can do with these is trying to find the "magic geometry" that works on that machine, which may be 64/32 for example. However, in CHS mode 1024x64x32 is only 1 GiB, and you might not be able to boot from sticks that are bigger than that. > > In any case, other experiments that I have just now done confirm that the > real controlling factor(s), for this motherboard, are the settings of > the BIOS's "First Boot Device",...

...s of CHS but works with LBA. Whether your stick's FAT uses CHS or LBA is decided when you partition the stick and format the empty FAT filesystem. H.

The partitioning program should offer you an opportunity to set these factors. Maybe it suffices to format the partitioned stick to a FAT filesystem variant which uses LBA. (As...

OK. If
