Unfortunately the BIOS is one of the most useless I could ever imagine.<BR /><BR />I want to boot my computer from a bootable USB flash drive, but the boot sequence in the BIOS has no option for that. Only optical disc, server, hard disc and USB floppy options are available! Bootable USB is quite an old feature now, how could such a high-tech laptop miss it?:smileycry: .<BR /><BR />Is there a bios update available for this ? Anyone tried/managed to boot from USB ?<BR /><BR />Thanks<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 19 Feb 2006 18:16:12 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/booting-from-an-usb-flash-drive/m-p/93588#M99727 frabad 2006-02-19T18:16:12Z Re: booting from an USB flash drive https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/booting-from-an-usb-flash-drive/m-p/93590#M99728 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Unfortunately it just isn't possible and there is no bios update.<BR /><BR />The only USB device that will boot is a SONY UFD5 Floppy Drive.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 19 Feb 2006 18:57:59 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/booting-from-an-usb-flash-drive/m-p/93590#M99728 William 2006-02-19T18:57:59Z Re: booting from an USB flash drive https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/booting-from-an-usb-flash-drive/m-p/93593#M99729 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>OK, thanks for your reply. <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.ba/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /> <BR /><BR />shame on Sony :smileyfrustrated:<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 20 Feb 2006 09:07:53 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/booting-from-an-usb-flash-drive/m-p/93593#M99729 frabad 2006-02-20T09:07:53Z
