Hi.
I've been trying to boot from USB flash drives using a GA-965PDQ6 motherboard. One flash drive has bartpe on it created with petousb and the other flash drive has Acronis True Image 12 recovery files on it made from the main prgoram itself for that purpose.
However, no matter any of the settings I've tried in the bios, the USB gets ignored. I've tried booting from all USB related settings, i.e. USB FDD, CD-ROM, ZIP. There was originally a setting in the main drive boot order to boot from a USB HDD but when I set it to boot from this the setting just disappeared probably because I don't have a USB HDD!
I have two HDDs, one SATA and one IDE, and two optical drives, one SATA and one IDE. the rest of the setup re chips, graphics, RAM etc. is the run of the mill for this board.
My main concern is can anyone inform me how to boot from USB flash drives with this board?
Also, I want to buy an external HDD, and as the USB HDD setting no longer exists in the bios, even after flashing to F13, how will I get it to be recognised?
Cheers!
