I've recently swapped PCs for my everyday use.
My old PC, an HP Slimline would boot up from a USB Flash drive, or even a SD Memory Card. No problems.
But, my new PC, an Acer X-1200 will not boot from anything but the hard drive or CD drive. When I try to boot up with a Flash Drive, I get a message telling me "No bootable media found" (or some such).
I've tried one FD that boots into a Windows shell, and one that Boot into DOS, , , no difference. I've even tried using different USB ports, , , no difference.
In the BIOS, I've given the PC permission to boot from "Removable Media". Have I missed something?
The only program that I run where I need to boot up with some 'Removable Media' is my backup program, "Ghost". And I can easily run it from a CD, it's just that using a Flash Drive is quicker and easier.
Just for the record, , , I use my USB ports every day, so I know they work.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
