Fail when Boot from USB drive

Hello,

I made a Bootable CD image of the demo4 and successfully boot from it.
Also I made a Bootable USB and the first-stage is loaded well , but when it try to load the second-stage bootloader it stopped and gives this error message:
INT18: BOOT FAILURE

How i can solve this ?

Also what is the difference between USB-HDD and USB-FDD emulation ?
because i copy my OS image (.img) to USB with this command (in Windows XP):

Code: Select all

dd if=myos.img of=\\.\g:
and i think this cause the problem.

Thanks in advance.

The code as is will not work for anything other than floppy disk booting.
