Bootable USB memory stick

[Murgatroyd]

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?

[smeezekitty]

you have to be in the same directory as the syslinux.exe file
you cd to change directory

Yes, in theory.

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

Usage: syslinux.exe [-sfmar] [-directory] <drive>: [bootsecfile]

I obviously am in over my head.
