The USB that wouldn't boot #1,971,004

[edgeofwrath]

Ok, to answer the obvious questions:
- Im using 3 different USB keys, a 1gb, another 1gb, and a 4gb, the 4gb being the newest, and one of the 1gb might be early usb2.0.
- My motherboard has options in the bios for both USB HDD and FDD, and even USB ZIP drives. I set the boot order to USB FDD, then USB HDD, then HDD.
- I am trying to get Damn Small Linux 4.4.9 to work.
- When the screen after the motherboard logo is loading, it recognizes both my USB HDD and the FDD, displaying both names for each, and their capacity. But it just then skips to the dual boot options for my 160GB OS HDD.
- Legacy USB is enabled
- I'm using the actual ports on the mother board, not the front pannel ports.

Halp plz. :confused:

First how are you loading the thumb?

Instead of relying on the bios boot order you can do a key prompt at power on that will take you to a per-session boot from menu. Mine is f12 yours may be the same or esc or any really you might look for this on the web, with your computer model.

You should also have all the other unneeded usb devices unplugged.
