I have a FPCCD19 External CD Drive with my Fujitsu Lifebook B Series (2620) laptop. I have a USB bootable Floppy drive, and I was wondering how I would get either the CD drive to boot, or get it to boot through the DOS drivers I have using a Floppy disk. It pains me that I cannot flatten and reinstall rather than upgrade from 2000, and I would like to be able to run Linux on this thing.

strwrsxprt posted:See if there's an updated BIOS for your unit to allow booting from external USB devices. Otherwise, you'll have to boot off of a USB enabled floppy boot disk and then run whatever install you need off of the CD. Apparently there IS no update for the BIOS, as I cannot find one mention of anything regarding this anywhere. I think the problem is that it is not "detected" in BIOS since it does not power up until Windows begins to load (and this was before and after drivers were found and installed for it). Hell, if I could mount it via a linux or 98 floppy I could be fine with that - but the '98 disk won't work by itself (doesnt detect it) and I have some problem gettig a copy of LOAF or similar disks at all. I'm at work, so this might be causing some of these prolems (finding things) but I'm almost completely at a loss as to why I bought this drive that supposedly boots).
