I had a similar problem trying to boot with USB, it would hang after tweaking the BIOS and then say it was booting...then no love...just hang. CD worked perfectly :| X On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 4:13 PM, Michael Douglas <mick at pauldotcom.com> wrote:
Thanks very much for trying Adrian, it's possible that something fundamental about the way the Kon Book works. Again, I can't take credit for this... Paul is the one who pointed it out to me. After I played with it a bit John gave the final nudge needed for me to shout about this. I will attempt to test this with my WinXP 64 build. Unless someone's already tested this... If so, please speak up! ;-) See you at DEFCON? - Mick On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 1:50 PM, Adrian Crenshaw<irongeek at irongeek.com> wrote:Nice find Mick. I did some messing around with it, I could not get Unetbootin to put it on a flash drive from the CD ISO, but I could get it too boot from the USB using the floppy disk image and this page:http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2009/05/11/burn-iso-image-to-usb-flash-pen-drive-kon-boot-to-usb/However, even though it would boot from the USB, it lead to a gray screen when it should have loaded the default OS off of the local drive. The CDIburned worked perfectly on the same box, so I don't think it is the hardware. I'd be interested if anyone else had the same issue: Workedfrom aCD, but not a thumb drive. Anyone know if this only works on 32bit versions of Windows? Also,detailsare scant on their page, but what it seems to do is act as a boot loader, mod the memory and then you can log in as any local account with a blank password. Neato.
