I checked at the SeaTools site and found that they offer a tool/app, filename =
USBbootSetup-SeaToolsBootable.zip that you can download; run the EXE inside the zip file (
SeaToolsBootable_RC_2.1.2.usbBootMaker.exe) and create a bootable USB stick for SeaTools with DOS on it.
As with the CD/DVD, you will obviously be booting from the media device that you just created - the USB stick. To successfully boot from the USB stick, you
MAY require a BIOS "Firing Order" change to ensure that the system looks to the USB ports first for bootable media - before looking/ defaulting to the hard drive or CD/DVD drive to boot your system.
If you require assistance to change your BIOS settings to ensure that the USB ports are first in line during boot-up, simply post your system manufacturer's name and the EXACT model number of the system. The model number can usually be obtained from the sticker found on the case of a desktop PC or from the label on the bottom of a laptop. It is very important to have the correct model number to ensure that you are provided with the correct instructions.
Here is a listing of the BIOS key sequence by system manufacturer, which will cause your system to boot, then bring you to the BIOS screen. On most systems, you press and/or tap an F-key repeatedly during boot-up to bring up the BIOS menu.
