Hello, I am using a ASUS Maximus VIII Motherboard. I recently updated its bios, which made me use a USB drive with the update, however, after it rebooted, with the bios updated, the "USB" drive is still stuck in the BIOS.

Any ideas why this is happening? More details: I only removed the drive after it rebooted, not sure if this will cause anything.

 

Thank you in advance!

Would be useful if you actually told exactly what the motherboard BIOS was telling you, or even better post a pic of the screen it shows you.

 

Have you tried plugging the drive again into the motherboard and rebooting?

 

Maybe if you can access another computer try remaking the USB update drive?

You can take the CMOS battery out for 20sec. This will hard-reset the BIOS. The USB drive listing in the BIOS should not be present after that.

The bios scans the hardware on boot, meaning that removing any devices after they have been found will not disappear until the next hardware scan. Rebooting without the usb will solve the "problem".
