How to set the BIOS to boot from a USB flash Computer

Wednesday, May 25, 2011

Previously I've reviewed how to make it bootable from a USB stick. But maybe some of us do not know how to set the computer can boot from flash. To be able to boot from USB, we have to change the settings or the BIOS settings, which is actually quite easy.

For those who do not know what a BIOS, a little picture, the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) simply represents a motherboard chip system in which duty to recognize and prepare the hardware / computer hardware when the PC is first turned on, such as Notebook, Processor, VGA , Memory (RAM), DVD Rom and others. If all goes wrong then the Operating System (like Windows, Linux) just started running.

BIOS will detect the device (hardware) if you want to access the first time and is there inside the operating system (commonly known as the Boot Order, Boot Priority or the like). There are many vendors that use the BIOS, which is popular among others, AMI (American Megatrends Inc.), Phoenix and Award BIOS. However, this arrangement is basically similar.
To clarify, the following step arrangement with Phoenix and AMI BIOS, booting the computer for the first time reading your USB stick:

   
1. Connect the USB Flasdisk that contains the system that will run on your computer (PC) or laptop
   
2. Turn on the computer if it is not lit, if the computer is still alive, Restart first.
   
3. When the message or the early writings, there are usually certain key information to enter the BIOS or System Utilities. Can press a few times to make sure. Here are examples of some messages that often arise:

  • Press DEL to enter BIOS setup (meaning you press the Delete key, in most PCs) 
  • Press F2 for System Utilities (That means we press the F2 key, mass: in laptop / netbook)
  • In some PC / Laptop, perhaps with a different button, Make sure to check the initial message that appears.
4. Once we get into the BIOS (like the view below), we can begin to arrange the order of the boot process

5. Search Menu BOOT, if no, look at another menu in which there is information such as: Boot, Boot, Boot Order, Boot Priority, etc.

6. If your USB stick has been installed and the BIOS also supports the introduction of USB, it should be performed as follows:

For specific BIOS, such as AMI BIOS, there are only 1st and 2nd Boot Boot, so maybe your USB stick will not immediately appear on the options / boot sequence.
4
it is necessary to check at other options, still in the main menu BOOT, here is the Hard Disk Drives. Make sure your USB stick be moved in the first place.

7. Next change to Flahsdisk ranks first in the boot sequence (usually no description of the Boot Priority Order, Boot Device Priority and the like)

8. When finished, see the Exit menu and Select the Exit Saving Changes or Save Changes

9. Settings are stored and the computer will restart, then the computer will read the first time a USB Flashdrive

If the flash has been entered but is not detected, there are several possibilities, such as: BIOS does not support the technology to detect the USB as boot media. The second possibility is Flashdisknya damaged or needs to be set for your USB stick is detected as hard drives, like the example above. For the first cause may be overcome with Update (Upgrade BIOS), Later we will discuss how to upgrade the BIOS.

In some BIOS settings are probably not exactly the same as exemplified above, but essentially the same, to set the boot sequence in BIOS. If we're done booting from a USB flash do not forget to return again to a previous state.
