P965 Neo: Boot from USB-Stick problem

Hi!
I have a problem with booting from a USB-Stick (FAT) with the P965 Neo board, Bios Version 1.5.
The USB-Stick will not be detected properly as a boot device (HDD) in the bios setup. It appeared only
once at the 'Hard Disk Boot Priority' list and sporadically at the 'CD-ROM Boot Priority' list (which is not always there).
Can anyone please point me to the correct bios setting to boot properly from the USB Stick?
(Booting from the USB Stick works fine on a ASUS board, so the USB Stick itself is bootable).
Here is my attached hardware:
SATA Harddrive
IDE DVD Burner
(both connected to the JMicron SATA/IDE controller)
thanks,

I use software called "Flashboot" to format my USB Stick, this software has options to format USB stick as USB-FDD, USB-ZIP or USB-HDD. You can use built in Free-DOS as your USB Stick OS. I have formated it as USB-ZIP and set my BIOS to boot with USB-ZIP and i didn't have any problems. Try this software it's very simple to use and user friendly. Only problem is that is not freeware so if you use trial version you can boot only once and after that you must format it again.

  • Can all macbooks boot from usb(stick,hdd) and firewire(hdd) an os: linux, win, mac os x, opensolaris, etc

    Subject: BOOT FROM EXTERNAL STORAGE DEVICE - After this setup properly
    Can all macbooks boot from usb(stick,hdd) and firewire(hdd) an os: linux, win, mac os x, opensolaris, etc?
    what about:
    Apple MacBook Pro MB133LL/A 15.4-inch Laptop(OLD VERSION) (4GB RAM 120G HD 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 15.4" Matte Screen, 4GB memory, 120 GB 7200 rpm hard drive) White

    Yes,
    Disconnect everything hooked up to the PC except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.
    Then use this method to flash the BIOS.  It is the safest way to go.
    USB Device BIOS Flashing in DOS
    DOS Flash  (DOSFlash.exe, FlshUefi.cpu) is the DOS-compatible System BIOS flash utility that can be used from a DOS bootable storage device (where "DOS" refers to any of a number of compatible operating systems such as FreeDOS, MS-DOS or DR-DOS). FlshUefi.cpu is the required driver for DOSFlash.exe. To flash the System BIOS from a bootable USB storage device, you will need to copy the contents of the DOS Flash folder to the USB device, boot the PC from the USB device, and execute the DOSFlash application. To see a more complete description of the DOS flash utilities, view DOSFlash.txt located in the DOS Flash folder. This folder also contains the required binary image of the BIOS.  The binary image file is named xxx_MMmm.bin where "xxx" is the BIOS family, "MM" is the major version number, and "mm" is the minor version number.  This file can be copied to the root directory of any USB removable medium for use with the F10 setup "Flash System ROM" option 
    View Contents of DOS Flash Folder
    The links on this post don't work. I copied the section from the BIOS flashing instructions for the specific section you need.

    Hmm, when you mean "bootable" are you meaning booting a operating system from the USB to run the computer with?
    Because that's what "booting" means, not mounting, which is what I think you mean.
    I say this is because you mentioned a PC, and a generic PC can't normally boot from a USB with OS X installed without a LOT of extra help of the hacking/breaking software agreement kind which is beyond the capability of most.
    If you mean your USB thumb drive is not mounting or showing up on the computer to trade files, then please tell us how you formatted the USB or if you didn't or not and it's volume size.
    Also if it does have OS X on it, what version and where did you install it from, because it might be lacking the hardware drivers for the other Mac.

  • Re: Satellite NB10T-A-101 - cannot boot from USB stick

    Hello,
    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite NB10T-A-101 and would like to boost performance by changing the HDD by a SSD and install windows 8.1 Pro.
    I'm however unable to boot from USB, it always mention:
    +Reboot and select proper Boot Device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.+
    I already disabled secure boot, used 5+ different usb sticks (work all fine on other laptops).
    Can you please tell me what the approach is to change the HDD and then boot from a bootable (UEFI) usb stick.
    Thank you.

    Hi
    The notebook Satellite NB10T-A-101 was equipped with an Intel N2810 CPU which is part of the new Intel Bay Trail-M platform.
    This new Intel Bay Trail technology allows the installation of UEFI capable systems:
    Win 8 or Win 8.1
    Just few questions:
    Did you already change the HDD to SSD drive?
    If yes, is the new SSD drive recognized in the BIOS?
    Did you try to boot from this Win 8.1 USB flash memory stick before you switched to SSD drive?

  • Boot from USB-stick on old thinkpad?

    Hi,
    I have an old Thinkpad 600E. It runs arch linux (and does this really fine), but I just want to try something new...
    The thinkpad does not support booting from USB. I wonder if it is possible to boot a linux-distro on an usb-stick (like puppy) using GRUB on the thinkpad's hard drive - maybe someone has done this before or hasn an idea...?
    pseb

    For older hardware like yours, I would give SliTaz a shot (http://www.slitaz.org/en). It's very small (25MB) and looks very promising. It has had good reviews on linux.com and distrowatch (see http://www.linux.com/feature/140573).

  • Help with MSI Neo 2 Platinum 54g cannot boot from usb stick

    Hi all,
    Just purchased the new motherboard with my FX55 CPU and I chose this mobo as it seemed the best option at the moment.
    A problem I am having is with the USB memory sticks. I have created a memory stick that is bootable. I have tested it on other pc's and it works ok but on the MSI board, it does not work. It recognises it during POST, but it will not boot.
    Is there something that I must do for this to work ?

    I found it finally! It treats the USB stick as a hard disk, so you have to put it first on the Hard disk priority submenu! I wish it would say that in the manual. I found it by looking at everything in the bios... I hit the Hard disk priority and the usb stick was on 2 and my hard disk on 1. As soon as I swapped them around it worked fine..

  • Iconia W700P - need to access bluetooth keyboard during UEFI boot or need to boot from USB stick

    Solved one problem, now faced with two more: The W700P will now boot from an Acronis TI recovery DVD, but to select the restore function (then the specific backup to restore), it needs input from a keyboard. The Bluetooth keyboard that came with the W700P does not work during the boot sequence. I'd rather not go out and purchase a USB keyboard, but that may be the only option. Or - Can the W700P boot from a USB stick? I've read that it cannot, but in looking at the Acer store, that is all they offer as recovery media for the W700P. I made a bootable USB stick when I first bought the computer, but I cannot get it to boot. All I get is repeated Acer splash screens, perhaps as it tries the various options in the boot order. I've tried changing the order, have set a boot password and turned off secure boot, but I still have the same issue. Any ideas??

    Hi Justin, Putting in the flash drive before powering on results in repeating splash screens. I've tried hitting the Win key on the tablet (there's no access at all to the bluetooth keyboard) after pushing the power button, but it loops on the splash screen. I've tried holding the Win key and power buttons until the splash screen appears, and that gets me to the BIOS. Once there, even if I plug in the flash drive, it doesn't read the USB HDD type/model name. Moving the USB HDD to the first position works, but on reboot, I still get a "no bootable device" error (without the flash drive), or the splash screen loop (with the flash drive inserted). The BIOS shows HDD 000 as present, and with a serial number, etc., but it is not recognized as bootable. Thanks for hanging in there with me.eric

  • Macbook Air Won't Boot from USB Stick

    I'm having an issue all of the sudden with trying to restore Lion on my Air. I've been messing around with partitions and setting up triple boot (linx,windows,mac). I had it working but wanted to remove it all and try again. Ultimately if I can just fix the partitions that's all I'd need to do, but I couldn't figure out how to do that so I figured if I just re-installed Lion completey it would fix it.
    The current status of my partitions looks like this:
    /dev/disk0
       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
       0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *121.3 GB   disk0
       1:                  Apple_HFS Macintosh HD            90.4 GB    disk0s1
       2:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk0s2
       3:                  Apple_HFS TMP                     30.3 GB    disk0s3
    I can't seem to merge disk0s1 and disk0s3 because the EFI partition is in the middle and can't be changed.
    When I boot my air, and try to boot from a USB stick that has the Lion installer on it, I get a picture of a circle with a line through it. Kinda like a no smoking sign except no cigarette.
    So I have a couple questions:
    -Is there a way to fix the partitions?
    -Did something I do to the partitions effect me being able to boot from another device?
    -Is there anyway to do target disk mode with a macbook air? (if so can I do that erase the drive and install Lion on it?)
    Thanks!

    Restart your Mac while holding  Command+Option+R until you see a spinning globe appear along with a message about the recovery mode. If you have a Mac with a wireless keyboard you should wait a few seconds before pressing and holding the keys after you first see the light grey boot screen.
    This will force your Mac to launch Internet Recovery. You’ll know that you are in Internet Recovery when you see a spinning globe and a meter running underneath it.
    Lion Internet Recovery only works on WPA and WPA2 networks.

  • No GRUB menu when booting from USB stick with new archlinux

    Hi,
    I want to try archlinux but I do not have a full backup of my current system right now, such that I do not dare to install archlinux on it. I decided to install it on a USB drive and followed the Beginners Guide considering the hints for installations on USB sticks.
    The first issue that I had was that I was not able to to install gurb and it complained that no boot partition was available. I started from scratch again but this time choose the partition type EF02  (bios boot partition) instead of the default 0700 (I only have one partition on the stick). This time everything went fine until I rebooted from the USB stick. Instead of a grub menu I got:
    GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB
    and nothing happened.
    I booted again from the boot cd with archlinux and did the following to examine the grub installation again:
    mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
    arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash
    grub-install --recheck --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sdb
    >Installation finished. No error reported.
    grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    >Generating grub.cfg
    >Found linux image: /boot/vmlinux-linux
    >Found linux image: /boot/initramfs-linux.img
    > WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad: No such file or directory. Falling back to internal scanning.
    > No volume groups found
    >Found LMDE MATE Edition (1) on /dev/sda1
    >done
    I don't know what the grub-mkconfig output should look like...
    Do you have any idea how I can fix this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to Arch!
    EF02 is definitely not the type code you want. That is used for a small partition with no file system which grub needs on GPT disks because it cannot fit into the space on disk. You don't install anything into it and it is 1-2MB.
    Perhaps https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Usb_installation would help?

Not all operating systems and software programs support every network device and/or configuration otut of the box.

  • Booting from USB Stick

    Hi there,
    I am trying to install Windows 7 via USB stick on my Lenovo S10e. I really tried ALL tutorials and guides on the internet. But they do not work for me. My USB stick is not recognized by the S10e. Tried different booting sequences and so on.
    The funny thing is, the USB stick itself is working on all other PCs and Laptops I managed to try. So there must be something wrong with my Lenovo.
    I am actually using the latest .94 bios and everything is working fine. Is there maybe a problem with my Corsair 4GB stick and the combination ? I would really appreciate any help. Thx !

  • How Can I boot from USB - Portege A200

    Hi,
    I've got an Portege A200 which is only a couple of years old but the hard drive no longer works. Initially I thought this was due to corrupting the boot record on the drive but after attempting to replace the hard drive (with two different drives) it is showing an IDE #0 error upon boot. I have therefore come to the conclusion the IDE controller chip has died.
    In order to get the latop working I burned a cd with the ubunto ISO. This boots ok but due to only have 512Mb RAM the system is somewhat limited and anything installed is lost everytime I reboot.
    I have now bought a 2Gb flash drive and installed ubuntu onto this. My next problem is that there appears to be no boot from USB HDD or USB Memory Stick option in the bios.
    The possible options that I can think of are:
    1) Upgade the bios so it supports boot from memory stick (although no HDD so not sure how I could reflash the BIOS or if there is even a BIOS upgrade that would support this functionality)
    2) Create a cd which starts the boot process then tells the system to continue booting from the usb drive (Is this possible and does anyone know where I might be able to obtain such software)
    3) Boot from CD but use the USB to retain any information saved / any installs etc (I guess similar to option 2 except the cd would manage the whole OS and the USB would just hold 'additional' information)
    If there are any other options that anyone can think of I am happy to give them a go. Seems a shame to have to chuck a laptop that isn't particularly old because the IDE controller chip has failed on the mobo.
    I apppriciate any help anyone can offer.
    Many thanks,
    Mark

    Hi
    First of all I have to say that its not possible to boot from the external USB device like the USB stick, USB CD/DVD drive or USB HDD.
    Its possible only to boot from the external USB FDD (diskette) drive
    However, not the booting possibilities are clear but I think you have misunderstood the IDE#0 error message. In m opinion the IDE controller is not faulty but only the new HDD is not compatible and not recognized by BIOS.
    There are different reasons for this issue
    Mostly this error message appears if the HDD master/slave/c-sel settings are not correct.
    Usually such settings dont need to be changed or switched on 2.5 HDDs but some HDDs support an jumper which must be set in the right position. But I dont if your HDD supports this
    Furthermore the not compatible HDD size could be the reason for such error messages!
    So finally I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country to get a new, compatible HDD and to check if the same error persists.
    Good luck
