How to set BIOS to boot from USB


Hi! friends as we know that booting the computer or installing new operating system due to virus is common problem of Computer owners.But it becomes quit difficult for all to boot from CD/DVD drive,So, at that moment we think about to how to boot from USB.Here I will tell you how to boot your PC through USB.

Keep in mind that your BIOS, by default, does not support a USB keyboard
Meaning: that if you boot your PC while having a USB keyboard, you will NOT be able to modify anything! As a matter of fact: you won't even be able to get in to the BIOS! So first sue your old PS/2 keyboard to go into the BIOS and set "USB Keyboard Support" to enabled!

Follow the following Steps to st up BIOS                                                                   
  • To Enter the BIOS press the "Del" button on your keyboard. Alternatives are "F1", "F2", "Insert", and "F10". Some PC's BIOS might even require a different key to be pressed. Commonly a PC will show a message like "Press [Del] to enter Setup" to indicate that you need to press the "Del" key. Some AMI BIOS require you to enable the option "USB Keyboard Legacy support"!

For AMI BIOS:                                                                                                                 


  • Go to "Feature Setup". "Enable" these options: "USB Function Support",
    "USB Function For DOS" and "ThumbDrive for DOS". Go to "Advanced Setup".
    Set the "1st Boot Device" to "USB RMD-FDD".
    Reboot the PC and it now should boot from the Usb Stick.

  • Go to "USB Mass Storage Device Configuration". 

  • Select "Emulation Type" and set it to "Harddisk". 

  • Go to the "Boot Menu" and set the "1st boot device" to "USB-Stick". 

  • Exit the BIOS, saving the changes.
    you can try "Emulation Type" to "Floppy" or "Forced FDD".

For PHOENIX/AWARD BIOS:                                                                                         




  • Go to "Advanced BIOS Features". 

  • Go to the "1st Boot device" and set it to "USB-ZIP".

 Enjoy Guys and don't forget to post your comments.
