Hi,

Go to www.blueskyinnovations.com They sell a utility which makes a Jaz drive
or Zip drive bootable. They have managed to get windows onto a zip disk and
then boot it. It has some clever hardware and stuff to make it work and is
work checking out. Also might want to look at PowerBoot, a util which allows
booting of ANY partition on ANY drive. I had at one point win98,95,NT4 and
Linux on one machine and it worked fine.

Gavsta.
