USB / Re: USB when booting from CD
2007.11.28, 23:28:41
Gentlemen,

The systems that I work on use the original Warp 4.51 installation. I created a bootable CD using the original drivers that came with Warp 4.51. I use the disk as a diagnostic tool to partition, format, CHKDSK, backup, and restore the operating system.

I cannot use Bootable or eCs boot CDs because the drivers in those packages are much newer that the ones used in our systems, and when I use the diagnostic tools like LVM to create partitions, the original OS does not recognize the partition. I cannot upgrade the systems with newer drivers.

What I have been trying quite unsuccessfully at doing is adding USB drivers to my boot CD. These are the statements in my CONFIG.SYS.

BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBD.SYS /REQ:USBUHCD$
BASEDEV=USBHID.SYS
BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD
BASEDEV=CWUSBUHC.SYS /V
BASEDEV=CWUSBD.SYS /V
BASEDEV=CWUSBMSD.ADD /V /FLOPPIES:0 /REMOVABLES:1 /FIXED_DISKS:0 /FORCE_TO_REMOVABLE
DEVICE=usbresmg.sys

Everything seems to load correctly. When it boots up, I can run all of the diagnostics on my CD. But as soon as I plug in a flash drive, I get a system halt. The trap error states the there was a problem with USBUHCD$.

I have added these same statements into the CONFIG.SYS for the system booting from the hard drive on my test system and they work fine. I can read and write to the flash drive. The problem is that I cannot make any changes to our live systems.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
George

How can I enable USB ports to use flash drives when booting from a Warp 4.51 CD?
