How to make your EasyDisk Bootable:

Warning - this procedure will erase any data on your EasyDisk. Please backup your vital data before following these steps. You can only make an EasyDisk bootable in Windows 98SE or ME. Windows 2000 and XP do not support making bootable disks.

Using the Utilities provided on your EasyDisk Driver CD, simply run the MFormat.exe program. The software will recognize your EasyDisk and give you the option of how to format it. Simply select "Quick Format" and the "Bootable" options. Your EasyDisk will be formatted so that you can boot from it.

The majority of motherboards made today will support this feature. EasyDisk comes with optional bootable feature for Windows users so that they can use it as a bootable drive just like a floppy drive or hard drive.

How to disable the bootable feature:

Repeat above format procedure, and uncheck the "Bootable" box before formatting.
