how to boot using pen-drive in gigabyte ga-880gm-ud2h? i am not able to do that. i booted via pen-drive in my netbook and it works perfectly but am not able to boot from it in my computer which has that mobo. when i select the boot device to be USB-HDD or any other than Hard disk it displays "boot error".

Did you change your BIOS to select Pendrive as primary boot device?

 

[utkarsh009]

yes i tried that too (btw it has an option for USB-HDD, USB-FDD, USB-ZIP etc and not pendrive) but in vain.

 

[thetechfreak]

Make it USB-FDD and try once.

 

[utkarsh009]

okay will try it as soon as electricity comes. currently it's power cut-off. but I tried it by pressing f12 key which lists the various boot devices I can use. it didn't work.

 

[thetechfreak]

What do you exactly have in the Pen-drive? OS?

 

[utkarsh009]

gnacktrack. I also tried with backtrack but it got the same treatment. I wanna install Ubuntu 64-bit using pendrive. but if others aren't working then how will it work. it works in my oldie netbook.

There problem in your bios setting is it show the massage of press any key to boot from pen drive.

 

[utkarsh009]

no it does not show the message of press any key to boot from pen drive!!!!!!!! is there any solution to this?

 

[thetechfreak]

When your electricity comes backm take a photo of monitor with a camera and post exactly what you see

 

[utkarsh009]

ok will do that if you want but it displays nothing other than "boot error".

 

[thetechfreak]

Then. I reccomend you to format your pendrive once.
