Yes its a USB-Drive. The BootCD boots fine and loads the floppy image
from the CD, but there is no CD-Driver part of the floppy image and so i
cannot acces the bios-update-utitiliy that is on the CD.

Since its about a X-Series Laptop which have no internal CD-Drives it
would make no sense to have a BootCD that does not support USB-Drives.

Anyways i sent a support request to Lenovo, will see what they say about
this.
