Creating a bootable USB?

Hi

I need to flash new firmware to my SSD but before I can do that I need to make the USB bootable? How do I do that? Just copy the bootsect.exe files from say a win 7 dvd?

Thanks for any help

No there's a number of ways to do it so chose which is easiest for you to manage.

I used the HP USB Boot creation utility which pulls files off your Windows disc.

This is probably the easiest way.

Use the link on the page for the Win98 files.
