Table 7-1. Using Virtual Media: Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

Question	Answer
How can I make my USB key bootable?	Dell provides a Windows utility for formatting its USB
	Solid State devices as bootable devices on the
	Dell Resource CD that ships with a Dell system. You
	can use this utility to make the Memory Key bootable.
	You can also use the utility to format the Memory Key,
	to add an active partition, and to transfer basic
	MS-DOS®system files to the Memory Key.
	This utility is also available on the Dell Support
	website at support.dell.com. You can find the utility
	by searching for "Memory Key Boot."
What does Virtual Media look like at the server?	On Windows systems, you see additional CD and
	removable media drives appear in "My Computer."
	On Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems, you see devices
	that can be mounted. You can find the device names
	by looking at /etc/fstab.

How do I know which drives are my virtual media drives?

Will the drive letters change on Windows systems?

When you connect your management station drive to the managed system drive then the title of the inserted media should automatically appear next to the drive letter on Windows systems. However, the best way to know which drive is the virtual media drive and which is the physical drive is by opening/mounting the drive and looking at

its content.

Generally, the drive letters will not change. So if you have a CD drive that is labeled D: and a removable media drive that is labeled F:, then those drive letters will remain the same.
