It's work fine but I haven't figured out yet how to boot from this drive.<BR />I have enabled iLink boot on BIOS and the boot order should be ok. Any ideas?<BR />The tested bootable cd works fine on another machine using the same dvd drives,<BR /><BR />Thanks in advance! :smileygrin:<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 26 Sep 2004 00:05:52 GMT https://community.sony.pt/t5/pcs-accessories/r600-ilink-boot-problem/m-p/19109#M124652 Lefteous 2004-09-26T00:05:52Z Re: R600 iLink boot problem https://community.sony.pt/t5/pcs-accessories/r600-ilink-boot-problem/m-p/19110#M124653 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I don't think you can boot from anything else except a Sony device.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 26 Sep 2004 16:13:21 GMT https://community.sony.pt/t5/pcs-accessories/r600-ilink-boot-problem/m-p/19110#M124653 kee-lo_ 2004-09-26T16:13:21Z Re: R600 iLink boot problem https://community.sony.pt/t5/pcs-accessories/r600-ilink-boot-problem/m-p/19111#M124654 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thank you for your reply!<BR /><BR />I guess you are right although I hope you're wrong.

Then all you would need is a floppy drive if the system doesn't have one.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 26 Sep 2004 17:31:19 GMT https://community.sony.pt/t5/pcs-accessories/r600-ilink-boot-problem/m-p/19112#M124655 kee-lo_ 2004-09-26T17:31:19Z Re: R600 iLink boot problem https://community.sony.pt/t5/pcs-accessories/r600-ilink-boot-problem/m-p/19113#M124656 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>How to connect this floppy drive?
