get a USB 3.0 flash drive to boot from a 3.0 port?I made a bootable ADATA 16GB USB 3.0 flash drive using LIli. Also used Yumi to make bootable flash drive. Either way it will not boot when plugged in a USB 3 port.It does not show up using BBS popup(F8). Nor does it show up in the bios.It will boot when plugged in a USB 2.0 port.Also, I can make a bootable USB 2.0 flash drive and can boot from it when plugged in 3.0 port. It shows up in the bios and the BBS popup. I have tried everything possible. No luck. I'm stumped. I have the latest bios and driver for this Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller.
I have had 1000 issues, but i'm going to try and narrow it down. it seems like everytime I try to fix a computer, nothing ever just does what it is supposed to.At the moment I created a boot drive out of my flash drive with windows 7. I set it to boot first on my bios and it loads but hangs up on the first background screen after the windows logo and nothing happens.This info may help. I have two hard drives plugged in (IDE). the master is the one I want to do a clean install of windows. The slave drive already has windows and if I boot from it I can get to the desktop, but the problem is when I try to run the install from it and the computer restarts after the second step in the install for the main HD, it doesn't try to continue the install. Ive been working on this for a week.
Original Installation Disc which the PC is currently running (Vista x64 OEM) Windows 7 Technet Disc Fresh Ubuntu 9.1 (for testing purposes, also failed to boot)
I've tried: multiple discs each with a fresh download and burned .iso changing boot priority going through the Boot Menu to select the USB-FDD or CD-ROM options
But the computer boots right through each of the medias.
I can see that my USB and DVD-rom drive are both lighting up.. during before the screen launches to the big Windows Vista logo screen.
I have Windows 7 Ult-64 installed on my desktop. I made a USB flash drive with the installation files, so I know I can boot using a flash drive. I would like to be able to boot into Windows 7 using only a flash drive (no hard drives connected). Is this possible?
I have f* up my MBR partition(FAT32, is invalid now) and now W7 won't start. I haveen't made a rescue CD, as my lappy has no CD/DVD drive. Is there a tool to start W7 via USB port?
Does anyone know of a way to take several different ISO's (multiple Windows ISO'sUbuntu, Hiren's Boot CD, etc.) and put them onto a flash drive from which I can boot and select one?I've tried several different utilities thus far - unetbootin, YUMI,XBoot - but none have allowed me to successfully add all my images.
For security reasons, I would like to create a windows 7 X64 boot USB flash Drive , not an install drive. A drive where when I remove it, the system will not boot. What files do I need to put on the drive, or is there a progrm I can use to create it?
I am using a few USB sticks for readyboost and always have them in my hub. One of them was temporarily used to create an Ubuntu Live stick, but now that I removed Ubuntu from it about 32Mb remain used and I assume there is some bootable info in it, as Windows 7 is no longer booting with this stick inserted. I have tried formatting but this does not help. Is there a way to wipe the USB stick clean and remove any boot sector info?
I've created the ISO file and moved it to the 4g drive using the AWESOME guide found here. However, the BIOS doesn't seem to recognize that the device is present. I've done some research and found that some usb drives aren't compatible with the BIOS? I made usb storage the only available boot option and nothing showed up.
However when I look at the drive while in Vista through my computer->G: It shows up as a windows system. I've also seen somewhere about enabling "Legacy usb"? I didn't find anything like that. Should I just got buy another flash drive and try again?
[Solved] Setting up Dual Boot on a flash drive that isn't always plugged in. I have windows 7 Home Premium installed on my desktop but I was hoping for a way to set up an installation of Windows XP on a 16GB flash drive that I have.
Not even thinking I just figured I would give it a try and I booted to my Windows XP disc and installed all of the files to the flash drive. Well needless to say it messed up my MBR and then wouldn't boot to the flash drive or to my internal hard drives anymore.
I was able to fix it by using the Windows 7 disc to repair startup but I still am not able to boot to Windows XP on the flash drive.
Is there any way to do this? I know I need to make some changes to the bootloader but I'm not sure exactly what to do. Is there a way to make it so it will automatically boot Windows 7 unless I put the flash drive in first and prompt it to as the computer starts up?
i mounted my windows 7 iso with daemon, opened my cmd/disk part window and cleaned, partitioned, formated, and assigned the drive letter and then xcopied my mount to the flash drive, but it wont show up during boot up. i've done this a million times and its worked with this computer. im using the poopy mobo out of the a6430f hp computer. its an asus mobo.
How can you copy one flash drive to another flash drive,on the same computer?

Okay so I have a Problem with my Media Center PC. I have a HD 4650 1GB video memory and i shut it down when I am not using it to save on hydro. When i boot the system up it is trying to use the the DVI or VGA port because i am using a HDMI cable and HDMI port on the video card but why is it always setting my main display as a secondary and i can't see anything that is not set rightI have installed the lastest drivers from ATI's website. I have uninstalled the drivers used driver sweep and removed the card booted up with the integrated video then downloaded the drivers again and installed the card and the drivers and it doesn't help.
I couldn't boot windows anymore, I spent a lot of time looking for the cause of the problem when I finally realised that windows will boot only if USB ports are not in use. This means that I have to unplug my keyboard, mouse, and all other USB devices before starting up my computer. Or else, it will get stuck as soon as the windows logo starts to appear during the loading screen.
Before I even go further: yes, the "hide empty drives" has been unchecked)I had to reinstall my machine and I was able to to see the drive letters for the internal flash card reader. However I think something might have gone wrong when I give my external HDD a drive letter that was held by one of the flash card reader).I wrote "I think" because I am not really sure since I never wanted to use the internal card reader till today so I never noticed there was an issue. Anyway, the internal card reader does not show up even when I insert a card in the reader. Basically nothing happens. I have uninstalled the "USB Mass storage device" and it gets installed without any issue but the problem is still there: I can't see the reader. the INTERNAL flash card reader has a USB slot and when I insert a EXTERNAL flash drive, the EXTERNAL flash drive shows up.
I know, should have a backup, I was actually about to create a backup when the flash drive failed on me unfortunately. My newest backup is from about 5 days ago, so I'd prefer to be able to restore the current files.
I moved the drive over to another computer and tried to save a file but when I checked again the file was gone, like it never saved at all. Subsequently, after removing and plugging it back in the computer did not detect the drive (or see it in disc management). It does show up as a generic USB drive in the device manager, but there are no properties for it.
When I add it to a computer, it still adds drivers for it, but then nothing happens after that. It may also be a hardware problem, since the drive fell on the ground pretty hard a while back, but seemed to be working fine. There isn't an easy way to open it up and check.
I also tried using a few data recovery programs, but they couldn't detect the drive either.
I bought a cable with ESATA on one end and SATA on the other end. What am I supposed to do with it? I connected a standard SATA drive to one end and the other end to the ESATA port on the back of the computer, and used an external power supply for the drive. The BIOS does not see the drive. Suspecting the drive needed to be powered from the same power supply as the computer, I plugged the drive into a normal power connector in the computer, but used the new cable to connect it to the external ESATA port. Still the BIOS sees nothing. The drive works perfectly as a SATA drive in the normal SATA connection.
I have a Router with ethernet and usb ports on it, and want to use the usb port to plug an external hard drive into it. Is this possible or is the usb port only for connecting to a PC.

Just built this machine. Installed Windows 7 on the 500GB drive. Both drives are plugged into the blue SATA 6GB ports on my board. My drivers for these controllers are Marvell 91xx SATA 6G v1.2.0.1002 (Dated 3/7/2011). The second 2TB drive shows up in BIOS as well as Drive Management in Windows, but it will not be recognized as an accessible drive that can be formatted, partitioned, or anything. I get an error each time I attempt to format or partition through Drive Management. When I plug the 2TB drive into one of the other (black, Intel) SATA ports, the drive works fine, but in the blue ports it just won't seem to work. The 500GB drive, however, works perfectly as the boot disk in these ports.
I recently installed new software that requires port 8080 to function. When I try to run the software I get an error that port 8080 is being used.How do I check to see what process is using port 8080 so that I can open up the port to run the software? MACHINE: Windows 7x64

My computer does not recognize my WD1200B015-RNN external drive when I plug it in to the usb port. I now have windows 7. It previously worked on Vista?
I have a hard drive I want to backup to a 64gb flash drive and then restore it to another different hard drive than where it came from. I have windows 7 and office on my laptop and I want it on my desktop pc. There isn't close to 64gb of info on my laptop so it should be fine even though the hard drive says I have 160gb. It is all free space except for those programs.
I recently ran into a very weird windows 7 bit problem after installing it on my desktop. I cannot copy large files/ holders into usb flash drive or write large files to cd/ dvd. The copying/ moving process would stay on for about 5-10 seconds then freezes then I get an error message. That is:
H: refers to a location that is unavailable. it could be on a hard drive on this computer...
I have all the latest drivers.
And windows/ nero 9 can't use my dvd drive to burn files.

When I put a flash USB drive in my Windows 7 machine it gives a beep and tells me that the drivers have been loaded and the drive is ready for use.But I can't see it anywhere, it shows in 'Devices and Printers' but won't open from there.How do I get it to show up when I open 'Computer' from the Start button please.Tech Suppot Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.1OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium , Service Pack 1, 32 bitProcessor: AMD Phenom(tm) 9950 Quad-Core Processor, x64 Family 16 Model 2 Stepping 3Processor Count: 4RAM: 3583 MbGraphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 3600 Series, 512 MbHard Drives: C: Total - 305141 MB, Free - 183571 MB; E: Total - 953867 MB, Free - 669909 MB; Motherboard: ASRock, N68C-S UCC,,Antivirus: Microsoft Security Essentials, Updated and Enabled

I used to create USB boots using the Program Ultra ISO and boot and install windows with my USB flash. But this time it isn't possible. When I choose to boot from USB, a black page comes, giving the message : Start booting from usb device ... but it remains on this page and nothing further happens. I tried the same flash on another system and it booted completely. It shows that the USB is written correctly and it must be something wrong with my system.
I just bought a new computer from a computer shop. It is custom built and has the following:Has 8GB RAM, 3.3ghz intel core i5-2500k, windows 7, Intel HD graphics so upto 1.7GB max video memory, 1 VGA slot, 1 DVI slot.Just to confirm I checked in person and my tower has a VGA port and a DVI-D dual link port.
