How can I add a removable disk (USB drive) boot option in my BIOS boot option menu?

bios

Solution 1:

After many workarounds on my PC I just found the another way to boot from a USB disk drive, using some open source tools:

  • Install Easy BCD.
  • Add the Eacy BCD BIOS extender entry to the boot menu.
  • The Easy BCD BIOS extender menu redirects to plop boot manager if you choose the boot option during boot up.

  • Now you have the option to boot from a USB disk drive as shown below:

This will be helpful for many old computers which do not support USB boot in their BIOS.

Solution 2:

I ran into the same thing. frustrated I was searching around for answers...but I figured it out.

the usb drive is listed under the HD not removable drives.

selected the HD option, then moved the USB to the top

made sure it was first in the boot option

rebooted and whola!
