Is USB-support ENABLED in the BIOS-settings? |
47 |
|
48 |
Current (From last 5+ years?) BIOSs (and especially UEFI ones) should be |
49 |
able to boot Sysrescue from USB. |
50 |
|
51 |
If it can't, I would suspect USB being disabled, or the USB ports on the |
52 |
mainboard being broken. |
53 |
|
54 |
It might also be a legacy support setting that needs enabling/disabling? |
