    hi steveo, i think what you could try in open the iso in a program such as ultra iso and then copy the contents from there onto the usb stick, then the usb stick will be axactly like he cd.

    I have tried this before but one thing to remeber is you have set your Bios to boot the pc from USB devices

    Also have a look at www.bootdisk.com gives you some bootable files you may need to add.

    and as for booting to it

    power on PC Press F12 at the Dell splash screen will give the option to boot to HDD, CD, Network or USB.

    I swear I had no knowledge of this asteroid but last night i had the most random dream! What I thought was the sun, was coming closer to earth and things were getting a little steamy.. fires etc etc bit of a coincidence?

    anyways for those that don't know of the HP USB Format tool;
