    boot off usb?


    Anyone know how to boot off a usb flash drive on a Sony vgn-aw190?

    I already made my usb flash drive bootable (Moblin linux o/s), and it works on my samsung nc10, but can't figure it out on my Sony in the bios section which is pretty confusing.

    Their tech support sucks beyond belief. They are the most moronic, idiotic cluless fools ever.

    Does your computer have a "boot options" option when it restarts. That is the easiest way to boot from USB. Instead of going into the BIOS just got o "Boot opions" with the flash drive plugged in and choose it. It will just boot ONCE from it allowing you to install Windows 7. It will then start booting from the HD again at restart. Most computers have this option.
