Hi all:

I've had my trusty A7V266-E for several years now. It's been
absolutely rock stable, so I'm loathe to change it.

Does anyone know if you can boot from USB using this board?
I have a USB flash drive I'd like to be able to boot from. I have the
code all correct, just need to know if this motherboard can boot
from USB-with or without bios upgrades.

Thanks

Brad

Check your BIOS. If you see "USB-..." as boot option, then it's likely
that it can. The only way to find out is to do it. After all, you have
it there.

I do not believe so.
