Hi guys, long time no see.
I saw a similar thread concerning booting problems of Hirens BootCD v15.1 ,,,

I'm actually having problems booting it too from USB..
Thing is, i always booted Hiren's via USB without issues since v12, v13, v14....

But v15, i dont understand... i dont get it...
i've followed the same tutorial which we can see here ==> http://www.hiren.inf...tcd-on-usb-disk
But in vain...

At this point i dont know whats wrong,,,
I beleive its Hiren's the issue...
Not what i do as its not my first rodeo...

Anyone can shed some light for me on this one?

Thanks guys :)

15.1 works for me if you follow the tutorial. It is your issue, not Hirens.
Prepare using RMPrepUSB as described and test boot using QEMU button...

Are you using latest version of RMPrepUSB? Did you get prompted for virtual hard disk size and memory size? Did a shell window open and if so does it say anything? What OS are you running and are you running with Admin rights?

That's odd - do you have a USB device selected in RMPrepUSB?

yes as it copied files from my hirens ISO into my USB.

but uhm, quick update, never thought it would be but,

my DURACELL branded USB stick is the culprit, i guess...

i knew i wasnt doing anything wrong..

i tried to install hirens on my LEXAR FIREFLY using again, same ol steps...

and it worked!!!!

YAY!!!

Screw u DURACELL USB FLASH DRIVE...


:P
