Disk Manager: USB to IDE Monday, August 21, 2006 at 7:37 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by George (25 messages posted) There is so much discussion on trying to boot XP (and other OS's including BartPE) of a usb drive. Are there disk manger programs that could be installed on a USB drive to trick the drive into think the USB drive is an IDE drive? If XP or other Windows OSes "thinks" the USB is an IDE drive, you should be able to install XP, 2000 ect. This would be a similar concept from 10 years ago when old 486's needed a disk manager to read HDD over 512MB.
