PCG-F801A Booten von USB DVD?

hewi — Fri, 04 Mar 2005 11:43:47 GMT

Hallo! Habe riesen Problem. Das interne DVD Laufwerk meines PCG-F801A ist defekt. Um die hohen Reparaturkosten zu sparen benütze ich ein USB Laufwerk.
Jetzt ist mein System zerstört und ich muss neu aufsetzen. Booten vom USB Laufwerk ist nicht möglich. Was tun? Wäre sehr froh wenn jemand eine Idee hätte. Oder bin ich nun doch gezwungen das interne Laufwerk zu tauschen? Vielen Dank schon mal.

Welcome to Club Vaio hewi.

I regret that my command of your language is not good enough to reply in German.
However, if you have an internal floppy drive (I am not sure whether your model does) you can use a DOS boot disk that includes USB support. This will then allow you to restore your system from the USB CD drive.

I hope that this helps.

mmmh, that's very interesting Rich. How can I get this? My PCG-FR has a internal Floppy drive too.

Hi Richard!
Your answer is really great. Thank you very much for your help. I have an internal floppy drive und hope I can manage to make a DOS boot disk with USB support.

Hi Richard!
I tried to create different DOS boot disk's that supports my USB Drive PlexWriter 40/12/40A - but without any chance at all. I am very disappointed about that. In the meantime I got a new Problem because I can not start my PCG-F801A (Win Me) After Login Procedure nothing happens - only an empty Sreen ist shown. I d'ont know what to do.
Hope you can help me. Thank you!

Hi Richard!
I made a USB boot floppy using Windows 98SE OEM + Duse 4.4 from the link you gave me. I added the line DEVICE=DUSE.EXE to the config.sys file (in order to load DUSE and its USB drivers). Now the question is how to I get Duse + DOS to recognize my USB CD-ROM. The DUSE program loads the USB drivers but fails to recognize my drive. (Target not found) It seems this method might work but I have no idea how to write a config to detect my USB device.
