Boot-Up Function
If you are using Windows

the JetFlash
can be configured to serve as an
MS-DOS Boot Disk. Upon completion of this procedure, the JetFlash
can be used to boot-up
your computer, allowing you to run MS-DOS programs. This does not make the JetFlash
a
Rescue Disk for Windows, nor does it put Windows Startup files onto your JetFlash
. After
booting with JetFlash
, if you wish to enter Windows, you must start Windows from your hard
drive, or a previously created Rescue Disk.
To use the Boot-Up function, you must log in to the Windows OS with Administrator rights.
A maximum capacity of 512MB is reserved for the Boot-Up disk sector in USB-ZIP and
USB-HDD formats.
