Question How can i get my USB Boot drive to show up in the Bios of my Gigabyte Motherboard

[Bryn__]

Hello good people.

I have been having a massive amount of problems with my Windows Installation recently leading me to attempt a complete re-installation.
However, no matter what i try i cannot manage to get the BIOS to recognize the boot drive. I have tried all of the following:

• Formats NFTS, FAT32 and exFAT on the USB drive
• Both Rufus, YUMI and the regular media creation tool for Boot Drive creation.
• Enabling and Disabling Legacy USB support in the Bios
• All USB ports on the computer, 2.0 and 3.0
• all USB drivers are up to date

I have read that Gigabyte BIOS' can be quite difficult to get to recognize a USB Boot Drive.
I'm wondering if there are any other methods i could try, perhaps a different USB drive

Specifications

• FX-8350 AMD Processor
• 16GB of DDR3 Ram
• Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 R2
• BIOS: F1 (no other versions)
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
• No Optical Drives

Thank you in advance

No I do not have any other USB drives available, However i could ask a friend if they have a spare pen drive they don't mind being formatted

Is the USB drive 32GB or smaller?
