PeterT Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment
WeeboTech Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment
PeterT Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 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) Quote Link to comment
WeeboTech Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 have you tried updating the bios with a later version (if it exists?) Quote Link to comment
PeterT Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Thought of that and downloaded a later bios - will let you know if it works.... Quote Link to comment
