Its brandnew, its an EVGA i780 motherboard. The problem isn't just booting on this machine, but many others. But I know it should boot on some of them, which makes it worth making it bootable, for the rest of them I would guess its doable to make a bootable floopy that will get you to the USB drive?

The problem with your guide is that its again for USB Flash disks, not USB harddrives. I will try and see if it works with NTFS (It says it needs FAT16, which is no good, unless maybe its to make a small bootable partition that will boot to other partitions maybe?
