It is my observation with many (if not all) of my systems that the USB stick |
| 22 |
was in fact not considered a USB device but an HDD. So to boot from a stick, |
| 23 |
instead of changing the boot order to USB → HDD → CD-Rom → whatever I had to |
| 24 |
put HDD at the top and then – within the HDD selection – move the USB stick |
| 25 |
above the internal HDD. But then again, those were mostly laptops, whose |
| 26 |
BIOSes always seemed very crippled to me. |
