Hi Huggy,

You can have your computer boot from the USB drive by setting it in the boot options from the startup menyu, here's how:

1: When starting your computer, press the "Esc" key multiple times, to enter the "HP Startup Menu"

2: In the "HP Startup Menu" choose the "Boot Sequence" by pressing the "F9" key

3: In the "Boot Sequence" select your USB Dongle with the arrow keys and press enter

4: Press enter to execute your selection and your computer will boot from the USB dongle.

Try this way instead of going the "BIOS" way 🙂

Please let me know how it works.

hi al

thanks for reply, when i keep tapping esc it takes me to screen which asks to press f10.

when i get into the bios i go to boot and i get a screen with

cd rom

floppy boot

internal network adaptor

boot order

i can only enable or dissable them,i go to boot order and i get a screen with all the options but i can only put them in different orders with arrow key to select  and move with f5-f6.

i put them in order of

usb disket on key

cd/dvd

notebook hard drive 

then i press f10 to save and restart

when restarting i press f9 and check boot sequence and all i get is

2 cd/dvd

3 hard drive 

setup

and i cannot change nothing but i can go to back to setup and start the circle again

cheers hughie

When you go to the boot order at start by pressing F9 the "setup" should be your USB dongle.

You have no option of selecting that by using the arrow keys and then pressing enter to execute your selection?
