How Can I Make VMST (Video Memory Stress Test) USB Bootable?
At work I do a lot of testing of video cards and I'm always looking for new ways to test them. FurMark, 3DMark, Heaven, game benchmarks, etc. are good but sometimes I feel that is not enough. I have found a tool called VMS some time ago but have been unable to make it USB bootable. I realize that it has a bootable ISO image, but that doesn't really work for me. I downloaded the "bootable floppy" file and then copy and pasted the files to my USB bootable flash drive, but that didn't do anything. It was kind of a "last resort" type thing to do.
.
I've done a Google Search on how to make this USB bootable, but I haven't been successful on how to get this done.

Try the following guide to make a bootable DOS USB flash drive: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/19...oot-drive.html
Then all you should need to do is copy the contents from the "Floppy-version of boot image" ZIP file to the flash drive. Once you boot onto the flash drive you should only need to execute the batch file "install.bat" to get things started.Last edited by werty316; 12-14-2012 at 10:20 PM.

I already have a USB bootable flash drive. I've been using that exact tool and process for some time already. I guess I should have stated that part first.
I've copied the files over and that doesn't work.

From one of the included text documents (vmtce.en.txt:
If you have UltraISO you should be to write the image file to a USB flash drive as well.For create boot CD simply record VMTCE.ISO onto any CD/DVD-disk.Last edited by werty316; 12-14-2012 at 10:34 PM.

I do, but only the trial version. So, I can open ISO images of any size, but cannot write an ISO image or burn a disk larger than 300MB.
How does this work?
I was talking to one of my friends about this, and he told me to use the ISO to USB tool. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but I imagine that's similar to what you are describing here with UltraISO?
