hello Michael,

I test USB boot on a PC with Core2 Duo after you have take another help
( same pb #5 on it and no PnP OS is off).

It boot now but I have another problem ( see pictures joints ).

For more information, I tested without safe mode and with all option safe
mode,
and I had the same problem.

If I'm not clear, say me ( french english bad ;) )

thanks for all

Raynald.
