[FIXED] Can't Boot With USB in BIOS

[Cyguns]

I wanted to install Windows fresh on my laptop but I can't make it boot using the USB. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 3542.

Set Boot Option #1 to the drive that you would like to boot into.

hit set boot priority if possible and then set the USB storage device as the priority boot device, or in some BIOSes you select the desired boot drive (the USB storage device in this case) and move it up. then when you have done that, select save and restart your computer. your computer will then search for a bootable USB device whenever it starts, and try launch through that and if it fails to find such a device it launch via the HDD.

Can I boot form boot options? (F12)

Yeah that works too, but is much easier to recover from a bluescreen crash with the USB drive set as the priority bootdrive, as long as you are willing to wait an extra second every time you turn on your computer.

The boot option menu won't detect the USB drive but it detects in the BIOS.

Interesting... I have never had that happen before I would recommend setting the USB device as the priority boot drive in this case. I'm sorry to leave you hanging like this  but, my family is calling I really GTG. Bye!
