Put in USB drive I'm hoping you made is bootable.
Restart computer.

864071 2010-03-06 04:56:00 Press delete (or it maybe F2 - it may tell you on the screen after you reboot), after you reboot. Then go to the boot menu/screen Speedy Gonzales (78)
864072 2010-03-06 05:04:00 Usually it's del to enter setup. Change the boot order to suit.
At this stage it's just a guess as I haven't got a clue as to what motherboard you have or even if it will boot off a flash drive.

864073 2010-03-06 05:04:00 USB FDD or USB ZIP? EFFIGY (12530)
864074 2010-03-06 05:05:00 It will be USB FDD I expect. But its not really either. Sweep (90)
864075 2010-03-06 05:06:00 Maybe USB hdd. If that doesnt work, try the other. If that doesnt work, then you probably cant boot from a usb flash drive Speedy Gonzales (78)
864076 2010-03-06 05:09:00 Or the USB drive was not made bootable in the first place. Sweep (90)

864078 2010-03-06 05:13:00 Ah! It has USB CD ROM as well EFFIGY (12530)
864079 2010-03-06 05:14:00 To effigy. Copying an ISO image is not enough if that's all you did. Sweep (90)
