Syslinux - Mar 2014 - unable to make USB-ZIP using rufus_v1.4.5

Hello Sir,
 
Following are the settings I used,
 
Device: NO _Label (O:)
 
Partition scheme and target system type: MBR partition scheme for BIOS
or UEFI computers
 
File System: FAT32
 
Cluster size: 4096 bytes (Default)
 
New Volume label:
 
(i)Quick format
(ii)Create bootable disk using: MS-DOS
(iii)Create extended label and icon files
 
 
Format Options > Advanced Options:
 (i)List USB Hard Drives
 (ii)Add fixes for old BIOSes (extra partition, align, etc)
 (iii)Use Rufus MBR with BIOS ID 0x80 ( Default)
 
On Restart Boots into  WinXP ,(My OS) without any message.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Prof S W Damle

I don't know whether Pete Batard (RUFUS' developer) have read your 
messages.

A natural question would be: Were you able to use the same settings 
before, with a prior version of RUFUS, achieving the expected result?

If you were using a prior version of RUFUS with different settings, 
have you tried those settings with the new version? Have you tried 
those settings again with the older version?

Were you using the same data (e.g. ISO image) as source for your USB 
storage device?

Were you using the same BIOS settings before? For instance, while 
using the older version of RUFUS, were you selecting the same USB-ZIP 
as boot device in your BIOS? Have you tried other options?

In other words, if you were able to use RUFUS before and to achieve 
your goal, then what exactly changed? Just RUFUS' version?

Ady.

And this message is to see if the "reply to list mungling" is gone.
(Check the E-mail headers ( this message was/is a "reply to list" ))

This setting indicates that what you did had nothing to do with Syslinux 
(Rufus does NOT use Syslinux to boot into MS-DOS), so I'm not sure why 
you are posting to the Syslinux mailing-list. If you have an issue with 
an application, please try to contact the author of that application first.

For what is worth, Rufus does provide ample contact information with 
regards to reporting issues (either directly to me, or by opening a 
github issue, as documented in the "About" dialog), so make sure you
try
to use that first.

Now, I'm not seeing anything wrong with MS-DOS boot in Rufus 1.4.5, so 
can you please send the complete log of the USB flash drive creation 
using Rufus 1.3.1 and Rufus 1.4.5 to my e-mail address (pete at akeo.ie), 
so that I take a look. There's a fairly prominent "Log" button on
the
application just for that.

Also when you say that you were "unable to make USB-ZIP", what does it
mean? Did Rufus fail to create the USB drive and return an error (and if 
so, what was it?) or did that USB drive fail to boot? And what is the 
type of your UBS-ZIP (manufacturer/model)?

Remember that more *comprehensive* information you provide, the easier 
it will be to help you out.

Regards,

/Pete
