Question Reboot from usb ?

[Griffindor86]

I'm using an Acer Aspire 3 and in the BIOS there's no where to boot from USB ?

You stick in your stick that you already prepared with something appropriate THEN you go into bios and under boot order it should show up as a selection.
Also your bios gives you a prompt at startup on what button starts the boot menu (usually F12) you can try that as well.

If it doesn't work you have to tell us how you prepared the usb, in case you skipped a step, and show us your bios settings, in case something is not set correctly.

Have any screenshots of the bios? What key are you pressing? The key to enter the boot menu is F12.

This guide says something about enabling the boot menu first in the bios… https://community.acer.com/en/kb/ar...2-boot-menu-to-work-on-my-notebook-or-netbook

Some BIOS have the boot sequence and then on a different list you can edit each entry of that boot sequence.
So if selection one is hard drive then somewhere there is a list where you can put the usb drive as the first hard drive selection. (has to be inserted of course)
