yes, i have the cf card set to boot first in BIOS.

I have tried loading windows onto a regular 3.5" sata hard drive and copying the files to the flash card after formating it wtih NTFS (copying all the files with windows explorer with both drives hooked up to another computer). When i try to boot using this method I i get an error on bootup that says "A diskread error occurred". I'm guessing this happens for the same reason why it wouldn't boot into DOS.

I am able to load windows straight onto the CF card, but I've read that its not best to do this. Also, the CF appears as a removable device when I do it this way.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance and happy 4th to everyone out there.
