On some of the BIOSes, unless you have the USB drive connected, before you go into the BIOS, it will not appear as a boot option.
Also, depending on the USB flash drive model, it may appear: 1) as a removable device (aka a floppy drive), 2) a hard drive (appearing as second choice under hard disk drives; you would need to change the 1st drive to USB and the 2nd drive to your current boot drive), or 3) as a CDROM drive. Also, if you have a UEFI BIOS, you may need to switch it to Legacy, instead of UEFI. Lastly, if you have a UEFI BIOS, you need a UEFI compatible boot device. In the case of Clonezilla, you need to download an AMD664 alternative version (Ubuntu-based), rather than the default Debian-based. (We have both the UEFI and Legacy versions of Clonezilla to try when we run into such issues.) And, rarely, I encounter computers that simply cannot boot USB flash drives, but those tend to be much older ones. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
