Hello, I am trying to install XP from a USB stick. I have formatted it or "prepped" it by using Rufus to format from an ISO of a Dell OEM XP disc.
My question is this: I have an option to go to the boot menu (F2) which gives me the option to boot from USB, and the BIOS (F12) to change the boot order - which does not give me the option for USB...
Do I need to change the boot sequence or can I just choose the boot menu and boot from USB?? What is the difference?
Also, if I do need to change the boot sequence, how do I get it to give me the option in the BIOS? (I already had the USB plugged in, so this isn't it). This PC is a Dell Dimension 4600 with a 0F4491 motherboard...
