Booting from an external device

Maybe this can help.

Attach the external device, start the computer, enter the BIOS. (F1 or F2, dont remember.) Under the Boot menu you enable boot from external device, then under Hard drives, if a USB-HDD, find your device and put it on top of the list in that category. Then make sure that the category with your device is on top of the category list.

Am I making any sense? Sometimes a USB-stick acts like a HDD and sometimes as a external device so check both categories...

I am not english speaking so have patience with the way I use the english language 😃
