Hi vijayr2002 and welcome to the forum,

Have you enabled Legacy USB devices Legacy storage in the  BIOS? Also, is the USB device inserted into a USB header at the rear of your motherboard?

Don't forget that you have to either set the BIOS to boot from the USB port first or press F12 as you are going through the boot procedure like as if you were pressing DEL to enter the BIOS. It will give you access to the BOOT Menu and you can choose on a one off basis which device you want to boot from.

Hi all, ;)

As I have said many times on several post on the forum.
Look in the menu of hard disk.

Sorry I could not help on this topic before.

Congratulations to you all.
