[QUOTE="conceptualclarity, post: 459194, member: 11916"] I have used Hiren's Boot CD a great deal, but now I am unable to. Whenever I click Enter on USB Flash Device in the menu, instead of opening up Hiren's Boot CD, it is giving me the message: When I strike F1, it just repeats the same message ad infinitum. I have Hiren's on a 4GB flash drive. (My old computer won't let me boot from CD or DVD.) As for the context of this, I have replaced an old hard drive that was clearly on its way to failure with a larger unused IDE drive. The BIOS seems to recognize that there is a new hard drive, but elsewhere I see non-recognition, including within MiniXP on Hiren's before this error shut down my access to Hiren's.
