PC won't boot USB? Using 10 year old hardware? try PLOP! - SpookyZalost - March 12th, 2019 Greetings, I just wanted to get this out there because it's super useful. I'm sure a lot of people have run into a problem where their BIOS will not boot whatever media for whatever reason right? well there's this nifty tool called Plop Boot Tool. basically you burn it to a CD, write it to a floppy, or set it up on a flash drive and it does the boot manager work for your BIOS. I mostly use it when trying to Boot on a PC that doesn't see flash drives as bootable media like my win XP machine (weird I know but it's a PITA otherwise). or that Pentium 3 I have, or hell my 486 with a USB PCI card. it's super handy, you can get it here. oh yeah, and as far as boot manager's go, it's really cool and cyber/scifi looking.
