Although it’s not such a major problem with computers manufactured in more recent years, if you have a slightly older computer, something it might not be able to do is boot up directly from a USB device. Being able to boot your computer from USB flash drive is an advantage because there are so many tools around that can be used to install or repair Windows such as Antivirus discs, and repair CD’s. Having them on USB is easier and quicker than burning discs every time.
Installing Windows by running the setup files from a USB drive is also popular because it can be a good bit quicker than installing from a CD/DVD drive, even Windows 8 setup files can be downloaded and copied straight onto USB these days. It depends entirely on the computer’s BIOS as to whether USB booting is supported and some manufacturers may have provided a BIOS update to enable it. However, what if you encounter an old computer that doesn’t support booting from USB?
Thankfully, all is not lost because there is an excellent little tool called Plop Boot Manager which can do the impossible and allow you to boot the computer from USB even if the BIOS does not support it. Plop can boot different operating systems such as Windows or Linux from hard disk, floppy, CD/DVD or from USB.There are probably 2 main scenarios where you would like to use Plop; firstly to be able to boot a USB device when you already have Windows installed, maybe loading a Live Linux or a rescue/antivirus disc etc. Another way is when you have no operating system currently loaded and perhaps would like to install one via USB. Here, we’ll show you both ways to install the Plop boot manager, one using the Windows Boot Menu and one from a bootable CD.
Adding Plop to the Windows Boot Menu
The easiest way to set up Plop to boot your USB flash drive is by adding it to the Windows boot menu so when you have the option to choose a Windows installation on boot, you will also have an entry to load the Plop Boot Manager and launch a USB boot.
This isn’t nearly as complicated as it used to be because to get the entries into the boot menu, you used to have to edit the XP boot.ini or manually use BCDEdit in Vista or 7. These days it’s far easier and only requires the execution of a batch file to get the Plop Boot Manager entry inserted into your windows boot menu.
1. Download Plop Boot Manager, then extract it to a folder.
2. Navigate into the plpbt-[version]Windows folder. Run the InstallToBootMenu.bat file. If you don’t have full admin rights already in Vista and 7, right click on the bat file and “Run as Administrator”.
3. When asked if you want to continue, just press Y and enter. The necessary files will be coped and the boot entry added to the menu.
Now when you boot your computer, the Plop Boot Manager entry will be there and you can now select it and boot from a USB flash drive.
Even though they have different boot menus, running the batch file will create the correct menu entry for both XP or Vista / 7 depending on which you’re using. For anyone who wants to rename the default “Plop Boot Manager” menu entry, open the InstallToBootMenu.bat, look for “set ENTRYNAME=Plop Boot Manager” and change it to what you want.

Removing the entry from the Boot Menu
1. This is quite easy whether you have XP, Vista or 7 and you just need to run the C:plopplpbt4win tool or run plpbt4win from the Windows folder in the Zip you extracted in the previous step 1.
2. Type L and press enter. This will give you the current entries of the boot menu, note down the ID number for the Plop Boot Manager entry.
Type R [ID] to match the ID from step 2 which removes the boot menu entry.
For example “R 3” will remove the Plop entry from the list above.
Installing Plop if You Don’t Have Windows installed
If you want to boot your computer from USB and have no Windows installed, then you’re probably looking to install Windows from a USB flash drive which can be quicker than using an optical drive. Plop Boot Manager does itself also include an ISO image which can be burned to a CD and then USB can be launched from there.
1. Download the Plop Boot Manager Zip file, then extract it to the folder of your choice.
2. Navigate to the extracted Plop main folder and find the plpbt.iso file, it’s the disc image file around 550KB if you have show extensions turned off in Explorer.
3. Now all you have to do is burn the ISO file to a CD and then boot from it. To make a bit more use of the leftover space on the CD, this next solution could be useful…
A rescue and repair CD we just can’t stop recommending to people is Hiren’s Boot CD. This disc has so many useful tools there are very few things it doesn’t do when you need to perform a number of fixes or recovery operations. Another one of its included features is the Plop Boot Manager which can be loaded straight from the main Hiren menu.
1. All you need to do is Download Hiren’s Boot CD if you don’t already have it, and then burn the ISO to a CD.
2. Boot your computer using the CD and you will get to the main Hiren boot menu. Use the arrows keys to go down to the “PLoP Boot Manager” option and press Enter.
You will then get the standard Plop boot options and can boot from USB.
Using Plop Boot Manager
After you have either booted from a CD or used the Windows boot menu and selected “Plop Boot Manager”, a new menu will appear. If you want to boot your computer from USB, make sure the flash drive is inserted and use the arrow keys to highlight the USB option and press enter.
If your computer is old enough to not even have a boot from CD-ROM option, a floppy version of Plop can be downloaded from the website and it can be used to boot a CD in a similar way. When we tried tried Plop on a laptop that couldn’t boot from USB, it was able to boot up a Windows 7 or 8 setup from USB and install the operating system with no problems at all.

does Pllop Boot Manager, still install and work?
Replythanks a lot it s work
ReplyWORKED. Easyy. Thanks for this, I earned 10$ from this ???
ReplyHahaahha… Nice ! XD
ReplyThanks, but the Plop boot manager does’t see the usb stick upon rebooting. I tried using different usb sticks with the same result. Shame.
ReplyWell I got this in my Windows boot menu as directed and on reboot it appears as a selection but when I select the option the Plop boot menu screen appears & disappears almost instantly making it impossible to select any of the menu options. This is on a machine with a supervisor password on the BIOS so I can’t change the boot order from HDD.
Replywhenever i try this method in my xp it is showing some error has occurred . (unsupported operating system) .Can u help me to solve this???
Replywhat to do if boot entry has not been installed error is written on a screen.
ReplyVery nice and very helpful article. Thanks a lot I was just thinking how to boot from USB on my 10year old laptop to format and install Linux and donate the laptop, this article really helped me to solve my problem. :)
Replybut what if my nootbook have no os installed and cd-drive is not working….??
ReplyIf you have no means of booting your computer, either from USB, ROM drive or HDD then there is not a lot you can do. A computer needs to be able to boot from something to work.
ReplyTake out HDD put into another computer (take out other computers HDD), install OS swap drives back. There is also DOS bootable USB creators, but this is still BIOS dependant.
ReplyThank you soooo much!!!
ReplyThank you so muuchhhhhhh! You saved my life.

ReplyAwesome! You make my day! Cheers from Venezuela!
ReplyI have tried using Plop Boot manager on CD to run Linux Mint from a usb flash drive as my bios only supports USB-ZIP0, but Plop hangs after it has detected the USB port. I have tried different ports and settings in the boot manager but the same thing happens every time, resulting in having to press the power button. I have used both the USB universal installer from pendrivelinux.com and also Linuxlive USB creator to make bootable flash drives with the Linux Mint iso. It is getting very frustrating and I would be very grateful if someone knows of a solution.
Thanks
ReplyPLoP did not work for me because it was confused by the 4 in 1 SD card reader that I have installed which made the PC hang. I could try installing DOS on a SD card or try some alternative to PLoP.
ReplyNone of this is of any use if you have a laptop that has its BIOS password protected.
ReplyThat depends, if your BIOS is locked and you can’t boot to anything including Windows, then this tool won’t help. If you can boot to Windows but can’t get into the BIOS to change the boot order then Plop Boot Manager will do the job just fine.
ReplyThanks man !!! :)))
ReplyVery useful indeed! Many Thanks! It will make my work much easier!
ReplyYou are wonderful and this topic is no1 technical boot support without any hardware changes.

It works!! OMG man you have no idea how long I have been searching for this. You are amazing. I want to let you know how helpful this was. Gave my Thinkpad r31 a few more years. Now to install win 7…
ReplyI’ve been searching for something like this for a couple years now. I have 3 laptops that are old enough to NOT naturally boot from USB but now, since I found this , they ALL can use ISOs I install on USB sticks. Thanks pal,
I owe ya a beer.

Wow, what a find. Have a HP DV5000 with a knackered optical drive and no bios support for USB. Lightwave 3d free download full version. Was almost resigned to buying a spares unit from ebay to transplant the optical drive – until I found this.
Followed the instructions, and it works a charm! Now able to boot my USB copy of Windows 7, and as an added bonus also able to boot the long corrupted recovery partition on the D: drive in case of any major malfunctions.

You’ve always got a trusty bootable USB flash drive with you to solve computer problems, but what if a PC’s BIOS won’t let you boot from USB? We’ll show you how to make a CD or floppy disk that will let you boot from your USB drive.
Asus Boot From Usb
This boot menu, like many created before USB drives became cheap and commonplace, does not include an option to boot from a USB drive.
A piece of freeware called PLoP Boot Manager solves this problem, offering an image that can burned to a CD or put on a floppy disk, and enables you to boot to a variety of devices, including USB drives.
Put PLoP on a CD
PLoP comes as a zip file, which includes a variety of files. To put PLoP on a CD, you will need either plpbt.iso or plpbtnoemul.iso from that zip file. Either disc image should work on most computers, though if in doubt plpbtnoemul.iso should work “everywhere,” according to the readme included with PLoP Boot Manager.
Burn plpbtnoemul.iso or plpbt.iso to a CD and then skip to the “booting PLoP Boot Manager” section.
Put PLoP on a Floppy Disk
If your computer is old enough to still have a floppy drive, then you will need to put the contents of the plpbt.img image file found in PLoP’s zip file on a floppy disk.
To do this, we’ll use a freeware utility called RawWrite for Windows.
We aren’t fortunate enough to have a floppy drive installed, but if you do it should be listed in the Floppy drive drop-down box. Select your floppy drive, then click on the “…” button and browse to plpbt.img. Press the Write button to write PLoP boot manager to your floppy disk.
Booting PLoP Boot Manager
To boot PLoP, you will need to have your CD or floppy drive boot with higher precedence than your hard drive. In many cases, especially with floppy disks, this is done by default.
If the CD or floppy drive is not set to boot first, then you will need to access your BIOS’s boot menu, or the setup menu. The exact steps to do this vary depending on your BIOS – to get a detailed description of the process, search for your motherboard’s manual (or your laptop’s manual if you’re working with a laptop).
Boot From Usb Fat32
In general, however, as the computer boots up, some important keyboard strokes are noted somewhere prominent on the screen. In our case, they are at the bottom of the screen.
Press Escape to bring up the Boot Menu. Previously, we burned a CD with PLoP Boot Manager on it, so we will select the CD-ROM Drive option and hit Enter.
If your BIOS does not have a Boot Menu, then you will need to access the Setup menu and change the boot order to give the floppy disk or CD-ROM Drive higher precedence than the hard drive. Usually this setting is found in the “Boot” or “Advanced” section of the Setup menu.
If done correctly, PLoP Boot Manager will load up, giving a number of boot options.
Highlight USB and press Enter.
Plop Iso Download To Boot From Usb On Windows 10
PLoP begins loading from the USB drive.
Despite our BIOS not having the option, we’re now booting using the USB drive, which in our case holds an Ubuntu Live CD!
Boot From Usb Windows 7
This is a pretty geeky way to get your PC to boot from a USB…provided your computer still has a floppy drive. Of course if your BIOS won’t boot from a USB it probably has one…or you really need to update it.
