The need to load from a flash drive may occur when solving a variety of problems:
- install the new operating system;
- launch in Live CD mode;
- for the treatment of a computer from viruses and malicious programs;
- to correct errors that occur when booting the operating system;
- preliminary installation of additional drivers;
- scanning hard disk for problem sectors;
- starting the operating system installed on the USB flash drive.
In many default systems, the download from the USB drive is disabled. Because of this, the user who wants to use the loading flash drive may arise problems with changing settings.
Features download from flash drive
The selection of devices for starting is determined by the BIOS settings - a built-in firmware designed to provide access to the operating system to the API devices.
To download the system from a flash drive, you need to go to the BIOS and change the start order, or use a special boot menu. But it is not always easy to do, because the versions and types of firmware may differ in different motherboards.
If you need to boot from a USB or any other drive, you must perform the following steps:
- insert disk or flash drive;
- enable your computer or restart it;
- log in to BIOS or Boot Menu and select USB device;
- if the connected devices are several, the system will automatically offer you a list to select the necessary one.
Most modern motherboards work through technology called UEFI. This is not just a more convenient graphics shell for the BIOS firmware, and new software with more opportunities and flexible settings.
Motherboards working with UEFI received many new abilities, for example:
- monitor the temperature of different devices and in connection with this increase or decrease the speed of fans;
- regulate the frequency of overclocking the central and graphics processor on the motherboards, where it is provided by the developer;
- work with many BIOS settings from special Windows operating system.

Motherboard ASRock H77M-ITX
The easiest way to download the system from the flash drive is to use the Boot Menu (Download menu). For each modern motherboard there is such an opportunity. To find out which combination or key you can do this, most often enough to read system messages. In extreme cases, you need to refer to the board documentation.
ASRock H77M-ITX allows you to select a startup option using the "F11" button. From the first attempt may not get to get into the menu, so the key must be pressed several times. In case of failure, simply restart the computer and try again.
As a result, you should see a blue-blue background with the inscription ASRock UEFI Setup Utility. In the "Please Select Boot Device" menu, you need to select the desired device for download.
To configure the order of launching devices in the BIOS of the ASRock H77M-ITX motherboard, the following steps:
After restarting the computer, you must see the start of the launch from the flash drive.
Motherboard ASUS P8H77-I
It is possible to be in the BIOS on computers with the ASUS P8H77-I motherboard in the same way as described in the previous section using keys "DEL" or "F2". In the device selection menu, you can get using the "F8" button.
The microprogram interface is very different from the previous version. But the names of the various settings menu are practically identical.
To simplify actions, the primary setup mode is provided and optional. In the primary setup function, that is, in the main window in which you get when booting BIOS, it is possible to select a start priority. In the picture USB it is designated as with UEFI.
If, after restarting the system, the loading from the flash drive did not start, you need to go to the "Advanced Mode". This can be done using the "Advanced" button or by pressing the "F7" key.

The computer will reboot, after which the launch from USB should start. If this did not happen, try changing the port and repeat the operation.
How to boot from the boot flash drive in the Award BIOS
New motherboards working with UEFI is much easier to configure. However, the need to boot from the flash drive may occur on older systems. Settings To use a bootable USB drive can be slightly different, at least the principle of the operation, considered earlier, the same.
One of the most famous versions of BIOS is Award. There is no possibility of calling the menu to select the start priority. Therefore, we immediately go to the configuration of the bios.
In order to download the system from a flash drive on a computer with a motherboard running Award, you need to perform the following steps:
If the launch from the required drive was not performed, you need to check another parameter: the USB controller must be turned on in the Integrated Peripherals menu.

Ami Bios.
This firmware management system is more modern, so there is already a launch sequence selection menu. It is activated by the "F11" button. You can get into the BIOS setting using the "DEL" or "F2" buttons.
To select the load priority you need:
PHOENIX-AWARD BIOS
Phoenix-Award BIOS is rare enough, and his firmware is a bit unusual. There is support for the output to the screen of the quick selection menu of the boot drive, it is called by the "F11" key.
What is interesting, in the PHOENIX-Award menu you will not find USB-HDD. But the choice of gadgets connected in this way, for example, ZIP, CDROM and FLOPPY are provided to the selection. To start the flash drive, select Hard Disk, and then the required USB-HDD appears in the list.
As for the priority management through the BIOS, it is done almost identically AMI.
The difference is that in the "BOOT" menu you need to select the following parameters:
- using the "+" and "-" keys, we change the order. The first must stand the removable device (Removable Device);
- by activating the Removable Device and pressing the "ENTER" button, select the flash drive from the drop-down list.

The ability to download the system from the flash drive gives almost any BIOS microsystems. Knowing key combinations and the necessary menu items, you can quickly change start priorities.
More modern motherboards with UEFI give much more opportunities in managing your system. If necessary, you can run different operating systems from different flash drives to manage any software.
Most often, we remember about the BIOS (Basic I / O System) only when we need to reinstall the operating system and you need to set the boot from the disk or flash drive in it. I often wrote about it in these articles like: and others. Now I want to gather together and refer only to this article if necessary. This article will be useful for all versions of bios and for different firms. Single unified reference book
The first thing you need to know - BIOS is divided by manufacturers and versions.
To change the boot method in BIOS - You must first enter it.
You can, of course, find out what version and manufacturer of your bios, from the manual going with the computer.
Also, it is possible to learn looking at the string at the top on the black screen when loading (the manufacturer will be indicated).
Well, then enter BIOS, knowing what you have.
In some versions of the bios, there is no such screen with a lines. There simply stands the logo and the bottom is written in the bottom. Something like "Press F2 to Enter Setup" means and press F2. If it is just a logo and there are no inscriptions - press ESC and then Del or F2
Here is a small list of manufacturers and shortcuts of keys to enter the BIOS:
Also at the bottom of the black screen, the keys are written to enter the BIOS and to display the list, which contains the available devices for download and so that you can boot from it. But about him at the end of the article.
As you can see - most often you need to press the key F2. or Del..
Now you need to put a flash drive or disk.
Consider on several examples different from the BIOS manufacturer.
Setting up Award BIOS to download from a flash drive or disk:
The main window is this kind in which we need a second point:
Further depends on the firmware version. In one case, you will need to go to the item similar to "BOOT SEQ & FLOPPY SETUP"
in another case, it is not necessary to go anywhere - everything will be so before our eyes
Schelkov on First Boot Device. (First boot unit), click ENTER and such a window will appear
in which you need to select a disk or flash drive that will be started first. You can specify the second boot device, for example, but usually the BIOS itself fills this data.
On a note:
If you choose a USB flash drive, then, among other things, you need to go to the item "Hard Disk Boot Priority" and move our USB flash drive to the very top with the "+" and "-" or "pagep" and "PageDown" buttons:
It is also worth remembering - that in order for BIOS to see the USB flash drive, you need to connect it until you turn on or before rebooting
Then click "F10" (see the exact key in the prompt at the bottom of the screen with the name "Save", "Exit") or exit the main menu of the bios and select the "Save and Exit Setup" item. In the red window, select "YES" with the "Y" button on the keyboard and press "ENTER"
The computer reboot and when downloading from the installation disk with Windows, there may be such a request for a few seconds "Press Any Key to Boot From CD or DVD ..."
What is translated as "Press any button to boot from CD or DVD".
This means that if at this moment you do not press any button on the keyboard, then the computer will continue to load from the following device list.
Another variety of this bios:
I met only on the old computers of the decade ago until 2003. The main menu looks like this:
To customize the load order, you need to go to the menu Bios Features Setup.:
At this point, we just select the Pageup and Pagedown buttons (or ENTER and arrows) what to set first - CDROM or USB flash drive. Do not forget about the second and third device
And further:
How to choose where to boot in ami bios
If, entering the bios, you see such a screen, then you have Ami Bios.:
The button on the "Arrow right" keyboard is moving to the Boot tab:
We go to the "Hard Disk Drives" and in the "1st drive" line (may be called "First Drive") select the disk or flash drive:
Next we go to "Boot Device Priority", go to "1st boot device" and select from the list what has been chosen in the previous tab (i.e., if you choose a flash drive in Hard Disk Drives, then you need to specify it. This is important! )
To boot from the CD / DVD disc, you need to select "ATAPI CD-ROM" (or just "CDROM") in this menu, while there is no need to enter the previous menu "Hard Disk Drives".
Now we save the results with the "F10" button or go to the "Exit" bios section and select "Exit Saving Changes".
Another AMI BIOSbut everything is clear here:
Setting up Phoenix-Award BIOS to download from a flash drive
If, entering Bios, you see such a screen, then you have a Phoenix-Award BIOS:
We go to the "Advanced" tab and opposite the "First Boot Device" exhibit what you need (USBA or Disk):
Save the key F10.
Configure EFI (UEFI) BIOS with a graphical interface for download from a flash drive
Now you will not surprise anyone. Almost all new computers are supplied with a similar shell. You can read more about it in the article.
When loading, at the bottom of the screen there is a section "Boot Priority", where you can use the mouse (dragging) to set the desired load order.
You can also press the "EXIT / ADVANCED MODE" button in the upper right corner and select the Advanced Mode in the Advanced Mode window that appears.
Next, go to the tab "BOOT" and in the section Boot Option Priorities. In the "Boot Option # 1" field, install the default flash drive device, a DVD-ROM, a hard disk or other device available.
How to boot from the flash drive or from the disk without entering bios
This is what I wrote about almost at the very beginning of the article.
This is when you need to press the key once and the window will appear with the download selection. This method does not change the BIOS settings.
Usually Award Bios. Offers to click "F9" to call the boot menu, and AMI asks to click "F8". On the Not Bugs, this can be the "F12" key.
In general, see the bottom line and look for Press F8 for BBS Popup or Press F9 to Select Booting Device After POST.
Why can't boot from flash drives in BIOS?
Possible reasons: 
On ancient computers, there is no possibility to load from USB flash drives. If there is no more than new bios, then the project can help.
1) Download the "Plop Boot Manager" above the link above and unpack.
2) There are files in the archive: plpbt.img is an image for a floppy disk, and plpbt.iso is an image for a CD.
3) Record the image on the disk and load from it (or from the diskette).
4) A menu will appear in which you choose your flash drive and already load from it.
Little decoding of disk designations when choosing:
Do not forget after you have done what they wanted (namely - why change the download in the BIOS) - return the download settings back to the computer loaded from the hard disk.
Hi friends! Today I will tell about how in BIOS Configure download from a flash drive, and what to do if this shortcut is not displayed in the BIOS settings. I already wrote an article about, but today I want to write more detail about how to boot from USB driveAfter configuring the BIOS.
What is it for? Well, if you read it, then I think you already know what it is for you. Well, if not, I will reveal the secret to you, you can create bootable flash drives and install operating systems from them or run other images of loading disks, for example. It is very convenient, flash drives are more resistant to mechanical damage compared to discs, and the amount of memory can be more.
Before you start writing the instructions, be sure to read the article, it is written in it how to enter the BIOS.So, you have already created a bootable flash drive and ready to boot from it. First of all, we need to configure the system so that our flash drive stood in the first place, and the system started at first. There is one joke, through which type questions arise and the BIOS settings do not display a flash drive.
In BIOS no download from a flash drive?
Everything is very simple when the USB device is not connected to the computer, it will not be displayed in the download options.
Exhibit download from a flash drive in bios
We do this: We connect the USB flash drive, go to the BIOS (if you do not know how to read the article above, usually the DELETE or F2 keys). And go to the page with setting up the order of boot devices. I just show the screenshots. Remember, you can all look different, and menu items can be called otherwise. Look for the item with the word "boot".
If the flash drive is connected, we will see it in the list.
Now we need to install a flash drive on the first place in the download list. Click to this "Enter" and choose "".
We save all our changes by pressing the F10 and reboot the computer. If everything is done correctly and the USB drive is created correctly, the download and USB drive will begin. It may indeed be that the USB is not displayed in the setup, then most likely because you have an old computer and it does not support this feature.
After a boring story about configuring bios, I would like to advise you to think about the security of your home or office and video surveillance in my opinion this is the best means of protection. Moreover, with new technologies you can install IP camcorders that will give you a lot of new and modern opportunities. For example, creating a network from multiple cameras and even broadcast on the Internet.
