I've got a 16GB Centon Datastick Pro plugged into my USB port. It's formatted as FAT32. However, when I go to the Pe2USB program, it displays the "No USB Disks Found!" Message. I also checked both fixed disks and removable. Any ideas?

Try using MBRWiz

Format your drive fat32.

In the directory where you extract MBRWiz:

> mbrwiz /list

Find you usb drive

> mbrwiz /drive=[your flash drive #] /active=1

then follow instructions as normal

start -> run -> diskpart

type "list disk" without the quotes and press enter.

type "select disk n" without the quotes and press enter, where n is the disk number of the USB drive.

do the same as above, but replace "disk" with "partition".

type "active" without the quotes and press enter

type "exit" without the quotes and press enter.

Not even in diskpart?

Does it show in Disk Manangement? (start -> run -> diskmgmt.msc)

Does it show in Device Manager? (start -> run -> devmgmt.msc)

It's in disk management. Listed as F:/, Health (Active)

It's IN the devmanager, but there's no identification. I can narrow it down to what port it's in. So it sees the disk but can't tell what it is.

Try this then:

Right-click (My)Computer.

Click Manage.

Click Disk Management.

Right-click the USB drive partition.

Click Mark Partition as Active.

Wish I'd known that earlier. Ok. So I've got the key running grub. Problem is, I can't select anything. I get the options of finding the menu.lst, the command line, reboot and halt. I have a menu.lst inside the thing, with the following.

No, because of the pound sign (#) in front, Grub4DOS doesn't "notice" it. It sounds like your menu.lst is actually menu.lst.txt. To view file extensions:

- select Start > Control Panel > Folder Options

- select the View tab

- UNcheck "hide file extensions for known file types"

- Click OK to finish

If it is menu.lst.txt then you need to rename it to menu.lst
