Title: Z87-D3HP: Won't boot from USB
Post by: laserbeam on October 06, 2013, 01:52:12 pm

Hi,
I have a new xubuntu 13.04 system I've built and I'm looking to update the firmware on its SSD. To do this I'm using unetbootin on windows to create a bootable image on a FAT32 usb stick. However, regardless of what I do the new system boots straight to linux even though the USB is boot priority 1 in the bois. Even if I select the usb stick from the boot menu the syste still boots straight through to Linux.

Can someone help me to understand what's going on here please?


Regards,
David

I haven't tried that but I will. I don't have a second fat32 stick to hand I'm afraid though I did try a small fat stick, which also failed.
