I am trying to build a router from and old computer. I'm using an Inspiron 530 motherboard and using an 8gb usb drive and I can't boot from it. It is using the Phoenix BIOS and I try to change the boot order to removable then hard disk and it didn't work it just says "no hard drive press enter to try again". I don't know what to do please help. Thank you!

did you set the usb as a bootable device? because just sticking a usb in there usually doesnt work
