Hello all,
When a PC has several USB ports and if I want to install Windows (XP or 7) using a bootable USB, first I should configure the BIOS to boots from the USB port but then, into which port I should put the USB flash? Or how can I find that USB port that the BIOS will boot from it?
Thank you.
Yes, my intention was to use one of the front ones. But it couldn't recognize my flash. Are you sure that each one can be usable for installing? In the BIOS there are more than one USBs to configure to boot from.
Is this a new custom built computer ? Are you sure the front USB ports are connected to the MB properly ?
Maybe give of some more detailed specs on this system.
What do you mean by MB?Are you sure the front USB ports are connected to the MB properly ?
Usually front USB ports have wires or cables with wires inside that lead to a place on the MB (Motheboard) where the are plugged into the USB Header on the Motherboard.
How do you know the flash drive is bootable, who prepared it ? How was it prepared ?
Have you used it successfully before ?
Then just use 1 on the back, then tap the proper key to bring up the boot menu and see if the drive shows up.
