hmm.... y u said so le???

coz now in linux onli detected 1 gig onli....
i need some help here....
i followed da guide but stuck halfway.....
i dunno how to use command prompt..... wat should i type here???

"Once the format is complete DO NOT close the window just leave everything as it is and open a command prompt from your start menu (type cmd in the search bar or run box depending on your version of windows.).

Inside of the command windows go to the directory you have bootsect.exe saved.
(use the cd directoryname command to switch folders)

Now type "bootsect.exe /nt52 R:" NOTE R: is the drive letter for my USB stick if yours is different you need to change it accordingly. What this part does is write the correct boot sector to your USB stick, this allows your PC to boot from the USB stick without it nothing works.
Please note: When running the bootsect.exe command you cannot have any windows open displaying the content of your USB stick, if you have a window open bootsect.exe will be unable to lock the drive and write the bootsector correctly."

dun understand le..... haiz..... noob in command prompt....
my folder for bootsect is "C:\Documents and Settings\Jacky\Desktop\usb xp\bootsect"..... can any1 tell me wat should i type???
