Not sure what bios options these oem's allow.
It has to be in there somewhwere - take a look and see if you can find any other settings for usb devices.
Is there something that says "boot from usb hard drive" or or similar?
Hi,
I looked into my BIOS and could not find anything similar. This is how my BIOS looks like:
MAIN
BIOS Version: R0070J4
Sony Vaio VGN-N21S_W
Serial no
uuid
System memory 1GB
Hard disk 120 GB
System time etc
ADVANCED
External Drive Boot: ENABLED
Network Boot: DISABLED
VAIO Animation Logo: Disabled
Speaker volume: 4
SECURITY
Machine Password: CLEAR
User password: clear
Set machine Password
Set User Password
Password when power on: disabled
BOOT
Boot Priority Order:
1. USB Flash
2. Internal Optical Drive
3. Floppy Disk Drive
4. Internal Hard Disk Drive
5. Network
EXIT
save changes etc...
There is NOTHING.. to be honest I've seen few BIOS before and this looks pretty THICK
I can't use DVD boot because my DVD drive is not working and I also don't have a floppy disk drive..
I guess I have to do it the other way
