Can I use NoteBIOS 4.0 to boot from an IMATION SuperDisk drive?

0

NoteBIOS version 4.04 introduced a feature that allowed a system to boot from an operating system on a CD-ROM. NoteBIOS 4.0 version 6.1 also supports booting from an ATAPI or IDE drive (e.g., Iomega Zip, Fujitsu MO, etc.) that can be formatted as either a floppy or a hard disk drive. If this option is available, the documentation for your SuperDisk drive should list this feature. A drive must be formatted in a special way to make it bootable. There is no guaranteed technique that can be used to detect if your version of the BIOS supports booting from this drive without simply trying it. Note that booting from SuperDisk is not supported on USB or 1394.
