Re: boot from USB on Shuttle

I finally figured it out. I was actually in the process of writing a
response detailing what
I was doing when I finally got it done.

I unplugged my sata drive to see if the cd was working. I totally
forgot the thumb was in
the rear and the machine started right up on the thumb drive. I
unplugged the thumb drive
and plugged back in the sata drive and went into the bios. The order
of hard drives (not
the boot order) had changed to reflect the thumb drive first. So, with
that I was able to
access livecd and right now Im in the process of creating the partitions again.

From what I could see, the cd and thumb drive, even if they are above
the hd in the boot
order, do not even get touched before the installed os starts.

But now that I have discovered how to get it all to work - Im making
more progress.

Thanks everyone for your help :D

In my bios:
Hard Disk Boot Priority: 1 500gb sata drive, 2 250gb maxtor drive, 3

First boot device : Sata- cdrom
Second boot device - Hard disk
Third boot device - usb-fdd

I tried changing the second and third device around but it made no difference.

Right now Im stuck at not being able to get my cd or thumb drive to
start during boot.

       It sounds like you need to re-set your BIOS so it boots first on a CD
or DVD, second a USB bootable device third Hard Disk.

       Your Bios is confused because the First boot device is listed as a Sata
cd-rom which is not correct.

When booting from a usb stick, does it matter what slot (front or back) the
thumb drive is in?

  Â  Â  Â Assuming that both USB devices work, either one will work.
