USB or Separate Partition?

Post by fire-medic8104 »

Ok, I have read all the great write ups and looked at different options. Is it better to go with the USB format or try to setup another partition and install all the RSS and dos on that. I looked at some programs, used to use system commander and it worked pretty good. Just didn't know if it would be better to go with USB or another partition.

I use a usb drive setup to boot to dos. It is loaded with rss apps and works great with my Panasonic cf-18. I just have to go in and tell the BIOS to choose the usb drive as the first boot device. After it clears the POST it only take a second to boot right to dos and it's rock solid. I use it for everything from the specta to mantrac and even saber.
