Title: GA-F2A85XN-WIFI
Post by: wondro on October 23, 2013, 07:49:43 pm

Not sure how to use this new type BIOS.
Can you set the BIOS to boot from USB to install Windows 7 as I do not have a DVD drive in my PC.

Try tapping f2 as you start and b4 bios loads it will ask you what to boot from. Hard drive, cd, usbHD, and so on. That should get you where you need to go.

Thanks for that will try as soon as my new HDD arrives.
Have you had a lot to do with these MB have been in touch with Gigabyte Tech and asked :-

If I remove the wifi card from the mini PCI-e socket can I use this mini PCI-e socket for a mSATA Solid State Drive to be used for OS system.

There reply was:-

We can only confirm this mini PCIe slot can be inserted by other mini PCIe cards for usage.
But it must be a shorter type because there is com port very closed by it.
We can’t make sure the mSATA SSD can be fitted in.
However, if it is fitted by the shape, it should work on the slot.

Would appreciate if you have any thoughts on this.The actual fitting may be via a mini PCI-e  extension cable if I can find one.

When you get it all you can do is try it. Hope it fits in general they do.
