870A-G54 doesn't boot devices from USB 3.0 port

I have the latest BIOS, and USB devices boot just fine when plugged into a USB 2.0 port. My current USB stick of choice is formatted FAT32. But when it's plugged into a USB 3.0 port, it's not even listed in the boot menu, nor can the device be used to flash the BIOS. It's simply not there. I can use USB 3.0 ports like normal once an operating system has loaded.
I have had this issue since I purchased the motherboard about a year ago. I don't recall seeing anything in the documentation that mentions this limitation. I suspect that the board's USB controller may be faulty. However, performance and connectivity is otherwise unaffected. It's a strange quirk, and it's now bugging me sufficiently to ask for help. Google has been of no use, and I searched the forum and couldn't find any info here either. So, does anyone know what might be going on here?
Rest of the relevant specs:
1090T stock
12GB of RAM (don't ask)
Sapphire 6850 stock
Spinpoint F3 1TB
WD RE2-GP 750GB
AOpen DVD burner
Win7 Pro x64
Mint Debian x64
Thank you for your time.

Many thanks, Svet 
Now it's work fine.

  • 870A-G54 - Lost use of of ALL usb 2.0 ports after months no issues

    First off I have been using this board for about 6 months with no issues.  None what-so-ever.  That was until my hard drive failed (it was old anyways.)
    I replaced the failed drive and reinstalled Windows 7 x64.  Except I was only able to plug my keyboard/mouse into the USB3.0 ports. None of the usb 2.0 ports on the board worked.
    I disconnected the USB headers (for my case,) swapped the memory, flashed the bios, and reconnected the all the cables (power, sata, etc..) 
    On top of that, it takes about 3 full minutes for the system just to post.  Usually it took maybe 3 seconds.
    I'm stumped.  Any thoughts??

    Some times Windows gets confused during installation, if there are strange things attached. USB before Windows for example is n o t  a good idea.
    Use absolute minimum parts for the installation of Windows, no extra USB things, PCI-cards, hard disks, sticks of memory etc. As little as possible!
    You can add all things after the installation is completed.
    A new Windows installation, then.
    This isn't a Windows issue.  I can disconnect everything (even the hard drive) and boot with just a monitor and keyboard, and the keyboard will not work to even access the BIOS (DEL key) unless it is in one of the USB3.0 ports.

  • Cisco 3825 router boot ios from usb

    HI All
    I got a Cisco 3825 Router CF card failure, can I boot IOS from USB? 
    Physically I found 2 usb ports but nothing I can see in ROMMON mode, may I know how to boot from USB?

    Hi Hugo, 
    The only time you can get an ISR G1 (except 870) to boot from USB is when you have upgraded the bootstrap to 12.4(13r)T15.
    The command to boot from USB is a hidden command.  From ROMmon the command is "boot usbflash0:IOS_filename.bin".

         Q. What sizes of USB Flash sticks are supported?
         A. USB Flash sticks are supported in 64, 128, and 256 MB sizes. No other sizes are supported.
         Q. Can I use any USB memory stick for this application?
         A. No. Only Cisco USB memory sticks are supported.
    Q. Can I boot an image directly from the USB Flash module?
    A. Yes. USB drivers have been added to rommon, starting with version 12.4(13r)
         Q. Can I format the USB Flash module on the router?
    A. Yes. You can format the module on either a router or a PC. You must  specify "FAT16 file system" as the file system for the PC format process  to use.
    If your setup satisfies above conditions you can get the router to boot up with the IOS on the USB flash
    If you are in ROMMON mode, use 'dev' to find out the name of the USB Flash (should be usbflash0).
    set BOOT=usbflash0:
    If you are in the router,

  • Booting BIOS from USB doesn't work (890FXA-GD70)

    Hi all,
    in case of BIOS crash, recent MSI motherboards should be able to boot using a BIOS provided from an USB pendrive. I have tested this function by calling it directly by BIOS option, but it fails after BIOS is loaded getting a blank screen (debug code: 09) or the monitor off (debug code: 31). Does any of you know whether the problem is fixable or any hints? Is it working to you?
    890FXA-GD70 (either BIOS 1.0 and 1.6)
    Verbarim Store'n' go 4GB USB pendrive (tested with FAT32, FAT16 formats, partitions smaller, bigger... nothing)
    BIOS save function doesn't work as well. Some bytes are different comparing the saved file to original one.

    it's probably m-flash issue, what's current bios version installed?
    Yes, you can say: "Flash your BIOS to the last version released some days ago, and retry", but that is the last chance for clear reasons. The problem hasn't been fixed flashing from 1.0 to 1.6, and I guess likely this code with the bug is in non flashable part of BIOS.
    I wonder whether Boot 2nd BIOS from USB Drive (or Backup BIOS to USB Drive) is working for someone, it looks impossible it is entirely broken...

  • Need to boot Linux from USB

    I have been trying to get this to work for a while now but it appears with the current firmware it is just not possible to boot a Linux OS from a usb drive.
    Is this true? or is there a way it can be done?
    Basically I work in a forensic computing lab and as our portable forensic machines we have a total of 16 MacBook Pro's all the same spec set up to dual boot WinXP and Leopard.
    So far they've been excellent giving us the benefits of both OS's to run the different forensic tools on.
    My problem is i need to boot a linux distro from a portable drive (USB or Firewire is fine but USB would be better) for a particular purpose.
    As you can imagine, our system gets filled with loads of rubbish and we need to clean them regularly so i have created an install from a wiped drive containing everything we need on the drive. I have then created some scripts in Linux that use dcfldd to create an image of the entire drive and compress it to about 13GB.
    I also created another script that puts the image back on the internal drive.
    This basically allows me to put clean "forensically" secure images back on the laptops within about an hour. i can also then update any software etc before creating a new up to date image.
    Currently I have to use a Linux boot CD to start the laptop with an external drive attached holding the scripts and image. i would like to just have a bootable thumb drive that holds everything and be able to start from it by holding the option key, put the image on the internal drive and reboot. its very quick except from the booting and running from CD whereas a small puppy linux build or similar would be very quick. And because we sometimes have to do this onsite speed is a major issue.
    Am i correct in thinking that the firmware just doesn't allow it or has anyone managed to get this to work?
    If it is the firmware, does anyone know if there is an update on the horizon that will remedy this problem?
    I should state i have tried many linux builds (using MBR and GPT options etc) and refit and nothing allows the drive to boot with refit stating the firmware has limited support for legacy systems on USB.
    I also know that I CAN (and have tried) using a Mac OS installed on the USB drive but it appears to have its own problems. it is fine when the internal drive is empty but because in my case it has an OS on it the system actually seems to use some of the components of the internal drive so when trying to image over it i get conflicts. The Mac OS also takes a lot of room on the drive when i just want a stream lined OS for this job.
    The main reason i don't want to use Mac OS though is that i plan to later add images for our doing our lab machines which are PCs and would therefore not boot the Mac OS.
    If anyone can help with this I would be grateful.
    Cheers
    Chris

    Most Linux distros will not boot from USB devices as is. I believe you're in luck with Ubuntu because there are some methods of running it from USB flash drives that just may do the trick for you. I ran across this when looking into putting Ubuntu on my MSI Wind.
    Boot and run Linux from a USB flash memory stick | USB Pen Drive Linux.webloc;
    On the Ubuntu site look for information in the documentation for installing on pendrives.
    I'm pretty sure that the methods for booting from USB flash drives will apply to any USB drive. From what I learned Linux simply isn't set up to boot from a flash drive or USB drive without some effort on the part of the installer. I've never done this myself so I can't tell you what to do only some pointers to where you may find how to do it.
    After my experience using Ubuntu on my Wind I decided it wasn't worth the effort involved. OS X is simply much better than Linux in every respect. I just wasn't interested in becoming any geekier than I already am. I had enough of that 20 years ago!

  • 870A-g54 front panel audio missing from bios

    Boy is this motherboard full of glitches. Teaches me a lesson about buying the cheapest for crossfire.
    I would really love to use my front panel audio. Only problem is my front panel audio isn't in the BIOS!
    When i bought my 870A-G54 I had to do a BIOS flash to support my six core CPU. Could the BIOS flash have changed my BIOS menu and taken away the front panel audio setting?
    Lol does the motherboard even have an option to turn front panel audio on and off?
    I had the bios flashed in the store the moment i baught it so i dont know how the bios looked before the flash. The Guy failed to flash my board because he had the wrong bios update and it was too big. So i had to download the right one from msi myself. People like that shouldn't work in computer stores.
    My front panel audio has one of those single plug and go audio cables so im shure i couldn't install it wrong, even had the manual next to me.
    Am i to be stuck without front panel audio??

    Quote from: Stu on 20-October-11, 03:51:31
    BIOS does not have any options for front panel audio, it is controlled by the Realtek Audio Manager control panel.
    What's the exact problem you're having?
    Well i plug in my headphones to front audio and the software should recognize it and light up the ports on screen. But they stay greyed out and i have no mic or audio.
    On my old asus motherboard i had to make shure front panel audio is turned on sorry for the confusion.
    any idea why it doesn't pick up my headphones?
    Ive tried diffrent headphones lol they dont work either

  • HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 not booting up from USB (to clean install windows)

    Hello there, 
    I have been trying to install windows 7 ultimate using from USB on my HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 (Model: b153cl) but unfortunately even after changing the boot order on bios to the USB device it's still not picking up the USB to clean install windwos 7. 
    Machine came with pre-installed windows 8, and I hate that.
    Can someone help me figure out the issue here... cause i have used the same bootable USB (windows 7) on another machine and it worked without any issues. 
    Thanks

    well.. i was just reading this thread, http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/HELP-download/m-p/4240018
    and my problem has been solved...

  • Can't boot Arch from USB on Acer Aspire One...

    Hi All,
    New to the forums, relatively new to Linux. I've tried several distros including #!, U/K/Xubuntu, Mint, Kuki, Puppy and Wolvix. However none of them, except maybe Mint, have played very nicely with my Acer Aspire One netbook. Even Kuki was a bit of a disaster, though I liked the Midori browser, first time I'd used it was under Kuki.
    Intro aside, I want to try Arch. I am not scared of a bit of hands-on work via CLI, although am certainly no expert when it comes to CLI & Linux!
    The problem is, I created a USB install for the latest 32bit version of Arch using Unetbootin (I tried both under Windows and Linux, creating USB live sticks with both). However when I try to boot from USB, all goes well until just after a message during the boot process appears. I forget off the top of my head what the error message says, though it appears after successfully waiting 30 seconds to discover a SCSI drive (or something along those lines).
    The error has nothing to do with the drive, it's related to the step in the boot process that comes after that. Whatever the message is (I'm at work so cannot access logs or anything right now) it ends up asking me to resolve from a CLI prompt, which then leaves me with a prompt dialog, or to restart and try again.
    Nothing seems to work so I am not sure what I am doing wrong or if it might be a bug with Unetbootin or a bug with the latest version of Arch? Or simply a good old fashioned ID10T error?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks! I'll mark this as an ID10T error for now then. I'll give the USB install image a try tonight. On a side note, does Arch come with Skype pre-installed and if not, is it relatively simple to install a la the *.deb package install?

  • IPMITOOL - change the booting device from disk to network

    I am using ipmitool utility to change boot device on Sun T3 machine. Currently DISK is set as boot device for Sun T3 machine. I am running the following ipmitool utility commands to force boot from network. But everytime I power on/off the Sun T3 machine, it always boots from DISK.
    The setup I am in is the following:
    I use ipmitool and connect to ilom of sun t3 and perform/monitor the sun t3 host machine.
    Thanks.

    Thanks.
    The host machine is Sparc Sun T3. It is not x86 hardware.
    Ideally I would like to use ipmitool to change the boot device. The commands I am running are the following:
    ipmitool -I lanplus -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -U root -P tom chassis bootdev pxe clear-cmos=yes
    ipmitool -I lanplus -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -U root -P tom chassis bootparam set bootflag force_pxe
    Both commands run to successful but no effect on changing the boot device.
    I tried with obp command and SP command like you mentioned below, both are not change the boot order. Not tired eeprom yet.
    ideally i want to write a shell script which when run would connect to ilom of Sun T3 Sparc and run change the boot device.

  • Equium A110-233 - I need select manually the boot device from menu

    In the last few days when I turn on my laptop the Toshiba screen appears but I need to manually go in and select the boot device to start windows.
    (Down the bottom the message 'Press F2 for set up. Entering boot device selection menu')
    Why has this started and what can I do to get it to go straight into Windows XP like it used to?

    After switching your notebook ON please use F12 button and you will be able to select the first bootable device.

  • What is the disadvantage of using USB 3.0 device through USB 2.0 port?

    My mac only has USB 2.0 but I'm told to use an external drive with USB 3.0 for better speed. Do I forfeit the 3.0 speed by plugging into a 2.0 port? Even though the 3.0 device is compatible with 2.0, is there a disadvantage?

    Thanks for the reply. So basically, if I want to fully utilize the speeds available for USB 3.0 devices, I need a new mac, right? Is there an adapter or workaround? I have memory-intensive sound libraries for use with Logic that are recommended to be stored/run from a SSD or 7200 rpm USB 3.0 drive, so I'm trying to determine if it's worth it to fork out the cash for an expensive external drive, or if it doesn't gain me anything anyways because I'm limited by the USB 2.0 ports on my iMac.

  • Dual boot windows from USB via grub?

    HI all:
    I recently had a motherboard failure on an existing PC on which I dual-booted Windows XP and Gentoo.  I replaced that box with a new HP PC preloaded with Vista.  Wiped that immediately, and installed ARCH.  But, I would like to also boot XP, and, since my old hard drive is still OK (I have it in an external USB adapter), I was thinking that I might configure grub to point at an external USB drive like this:
    # Windows XP
    title Windows XP
    root (hd1,0)
    makeactive
    chainloader +1
    where "hd1" (I hope) would point at my old drive, now connected via USB.  In this way, I am really booting from my HDD (where grub lives), but "chain loading" from my USB external.  Can this work??

    I configured as shown in the wiki, but when I try to boot XP, I get a message that says something to the effect of "missing or corrupted <windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe".  I checked the disk and it seems to be there and OK.  I get the feeling that it is either NOT finding the hard disk (or partition) or it cannot interpret the NTFS file system (but grub was able to boot this before,...).  So, two questions...
    1) how do I know what the designator for the external USB hard disk will be?  I have speculated that grub will find it at "hd1", but maybe not?
    2) does the target disk NEED a windows boot loader?  as I said earlier, I used to dual boot it, so there is a grub loader on that disk also.
    ...ok, three questions...
    3) anything else that I should consider??
    Thanks again for any help.
    -dvh
    1) i don'tknow a way to check this, but the
    missing or corrupted <windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe message comes from the windows boot process,
    so it seems grub is configured correctly.
    The main problem is that BOTH grub and windows boot need to have the correct settings.
    Windows takes the settings for boot from the boot.ini file in the root of C:\ , and that probably needs to be changed.
    You will need some way to get read/write access to the windows C-drive partition.
    Install ntfs-3g in archlinux (see NTFS_Write_Support ) and post the contents of boot.ini .

  • Boot ISO from USB-stick!

    Hi,
    I have found a very nice utility that allows you to put an ISO on an USB-stick and boot from it like it's a real CD/DVD player:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/

    This program is great and actually just saved a brand spankin new MSI GX660 from certain death,  I had it packed and ready to ship back to newegg hours after I got it because recovery would not work.  But a fresh win 7 iso image and a 4gig flash drive and unetbootin saved my laptop and weeks of certain stress.
    All I wanted was my GX660 to run out of the box and unetbootin assisted in the processs immensely!
