February 3, 201214 yr Try disabling the "Quick Power on Self Test" This will slow down the post time and may allow the USB port and the flash drive to get ready. (I had to do this many, many years ago when I had a hard drive that wouldn't get to speed before the BIOS attempted to read from it.)

Maybe that will help. dave
