Booting from USB flash drive with Gigabyte GA-G33-DS3R motherboard
Windows XP does not correctly format a USB flash drive’s boot sector.
Instead use HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool to format in FAT32. http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/...mat-Tool.shtml This utility enables an image file to be used to boot the USB flash drive e.g. from a Windows 98 Startup Disk. For most Linux distros, Universal USB Installer will do the whole job, including formatting. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/univers...easy-as-1-2-3/ To boot from the USB flash drive, keep hitting F12 during boot up, then select + Hard Disc from the Boot Menu. On the next menu, USB- HDD0 : NAME should appear at the top of the list, if the USB flash drive has been formatted correctly.
