I've recently tried to boot UNRAID on this board - no luck with every conceivable combination of bios settings. The Kingston USB drive is recognised as a storage device by the M/B but won't boot. Same flash drive in my other ASUS board boots. It appears in the ASUS board as a hard drive, but not the Gigabyte board. Any ideas?

Did you do a syslinux -ma X: where X: is the drive of the flash?

 

I've found ASUS to have a very forgiving and easy to boot bios.

Almost everything I've tried with ASUS and the BBS bios boots.

 

 

Thanks for replying - yes, tried all the usual fixes - spent hours on this board and it really doesn't liike booting from a flash drive, it'll give, at best, a "boot error" Think I'll give it away and try another board.......(The board does boot from hard drive, windows, by the way)

have you tried updating the bios with a later version (if it exists?)

 

Thought of that and downloaded  a later bios - will let you know if it works....
