I can't figure out how to get this mobo to boot from USB - and my
junkbox floppy drive is faulty so upgrading to BIOS 1009, the latest,
is going to require scavenging up a new floppy, but before I bother,
does anyone know if this mobo does support boot from USB, and if so,
how on earth you get it to work (and at what BIOS revision this was
added), because if it doesn't I will return it for one that does, I
think.
I've got a 'driver free' compact flash adaptor that has a bootable CF
card in it and which works perfectly i.e boots on both a Winfast mobo
and my IBM T40. But the K8N doesn't see it, plugged directly into the
mobo rear ports, and both in the BIOS and when pressing F8 to reorder
the boot devices, there appears to be no USB-related option. This seems
odd for a relatively new mobo. (fitted with Sempron 2800+ with 64 bit)
Have to say, Asus web site not very informative about what features
were added to what BIOS revision. I think maybe I'll go back to
Gigabyte next machine.
TIA
