And if so, how can a USB boot process be menued to select one? It would be awesome if there was a bios smart enough to boot to a menu that let you select a native ISO on a USB that is not formated for boot. I'd like to be able to boot to a windows 7 pro, Gparted 10 and Ghost from the same 1TB USB drive. Possible? Thanks. Is it possible to have muliple boot volumes on one USB drive?

The drivers were the same factory-installed drivers that came pre-installed with Vista, since it was an "upgrade" in my case. I've not worked on Xbox Media Center so I'm not sure if that's the culprit here. My Revo had just Windows Vista (which came pre-installed on it) when I did the upgrade.

The other thing is that I installed XBMC onto it first and now I am trying to go from XBMC to Windows 7 and I don't know if that is creating the problem. Is there a way that you can pull the drivers off your computer and give them to me to see if that will remove the prompt I am getting?

All I did was rebuild the flash drive (re-copying the files) and it worked the second time around - I suspect some files didn't get copied across the first time. Also note, you can't upgrade to Win7 from XP, you can only do fresh install. Shijaz Hi Jarrett
