Changing the partition structure allows my Data Traveller
to boot from home,
a MSI K8MM-V motherboard.
At work, it does not boot, it is an HP Compaq d220 MT with
unknown
motherboard. The bios has the USB boot option
but it does not want to boot from my flash drive for some
reason that I
still have to find out.

Hi;
I use vfat:
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sdc
Disk /dev/sdc: 2041 MB, 2041577472 bytes
61 heads, 60 sectors/track, 1089 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 3660 * 512 = 1873920 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x04030201
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 * 1 1089 1992840 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
In fdisk set the type to "c", and make it active.
Then "mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX" to format it.
