CAUTION: Some older PCs may not be bootable from a USB flash media device. If the default
boot order in the Computer Setup (F10) Utility lists the USB device before the hard drive, the
computer can be booted from a USB flash media device. Otherwise, a bootable diskette must be
used.
1. If there are any PCI cards in the system that have SCSI, ATA RAID or SATA drives attached, turn
off the computer and unplug the power cord.
CAUTION: The power cord MUST be unplugged.
2. Open the computer and remove the PCI cards.
3. Insert the USB flash media device into one of the computer's USB ports and remove all other USB
storage devices except USB diskette drives. Close the computer cover.
4. Plug in the power cord and turn on the computer.
5. As soon as the computer is turned on, press F10 when the monitor light turns green to enter
Computer Setup. Press Enter to bypass the title screen, if necessary.
NOTE: If you do not press F10 at the appropriate time, you must restart the computer and
again press F10 when the monitor light turns green to access the utility.
6. Go to Advanced > PCI Devices to disable both the PATA and SATA controllers. When disabling
the SATA controller, note the IRQ to which the controller is assigned. You will need to reassign the
IRQ later. Exit setup, confirming the changes.

7. Insert a bootable DOS diskette with FDISK.COM and either SYS.COM or FORMAT.COM into a

DOS diskette.

device, add the system files, and ask for a Volume Label.
11. Press Enter for no label or enter one if desired.
