I have decided to reuse my old computer by sticking Xubuntu on it. However, I am unable to do so because I can't seem to get it to boot from my flash drive. The Flash drive is appropriately formatted and stuff. I can't get the motherboard to boot from it. The only USB options in the boot menu are USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, and USB-CDROM. I have tried all of them, but they're obviously not meant for flash drives. There are no other USB options. I don't have any spare disk drives, so I need to install from this flash drive. How can I boot from it?

I'm not sure if this will help, but have you tried updating your BIOS? ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/download/bios/nfm2/

Gah, do I need a floppy disk for that?

I may just borrow a cd drive.
