hi guys
as you know we can set primary boot in bios(by for example press f2 when booting)
but my question is that is it possible to set primary boot in windows(for example set to boot from USB FLash Drive) and then reset the windows and the windows will boot from USB?

Windows does not control which drive you boot from. Your bios does. There is no other way.

Well Muiamir,

i do not use a DVD either, only USB connections.

Go to Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Storage, Disk Management and make your external USB active.

If this does not work you have to put the USB first in the bios as Theog suggested.

But it might work without hitting the bios, depends on how your board reacts.

it worked like this once for me.

The easiest way is to use the ONE TIME BOOT MENU.
