Ok people need your assistance
I'm having trouble accessing the bios on my xp laptop. Tried restoring an image I had saved, and it let me in this morning (middle of the night for me). I checked settings and there wasn't an option to move 'boot from usb' in the config. Only usual suspects, hard drive , cd, floppy and one other can't think of. I now can't seem to get back into the bios. Something's wrong somewhere. I don't know if a fresh install of xp will work or not.
Anyway, is there supposed to be a 'usb boot' option within the bios boot config? Using xp pro, service pack 3. Have got other variations, xp home service pack 2 etc....
How does one enable the usb flash to be bootable from the bios?
Or better still, tell me I'm wasting my time because it doesn't need any config from the bios as it's in the program airs put up for us to use? And will automatically boot from usb flash drive somehow.
