Solve : Bootable USB memory stick?

Answer»

I have been trying without success to CREATE a bootable Cruzer Micro. Each of the suggested methods I have found require some action using cmd. When I ENTER a command, e. g. syslinux.exe or grub4dos which has been DOWNLOADED and extracted, I get a message; "not recognized as internal or external command, OPERABLE program or batch file'. Do I have a hardware or software or cockpit problem? Any help is appreciated.I apparently have made my problem too obscure, when I read it even I don't understand it. Let me try again. After I have successfully extracted and put syslinux.exe in a folder, I next executed in the folder start>run>cmd and got C:\\Documents and Settings\Murgatroyd>. Instructions to create a bootable USB memory stick were to then append syslinux.exe G and click ENTER. Following this command, I then got the "not recognized----" message. The Cruzer Micro can be accessed as G in My Computer and all files can be read. Somehow the command doesn't work. I've had the same problem with other approaches to make G bootable. The BIOS (Dell 4700 BIOS A10) shows the USB device as being bootable.Have you actually placed any bootable files onto this device?you have to be in the same directory as the syslinux.exe file

Thanks, I was in the wrong folder. Now the message when I am in the correct directory/folder is:

Usage: syslinux.exe [-sfmar] [-directory] : [bootsecfile]

I obviously am in over my head.Here Ya Go...
