If you have the USB device properly prepared it is just a matter of selecting the proper boot order in the setup. Are you trying to boot from a memory stick, external hard disk or CD/DVD ROM?

I find it a little tricky to get into the bios to change the boot order. I may take me 3 or 4 tries. When you get the Zotac logo on booting press and hold the F11 key. I am using a KVM switch which may be why I have some issues. I don't have screen shots to share or even remember much of how I did it.

When I got my Zbox it was used and I couldn't get it to boot from usb or even get proper access to the set up screen for the bios. I finally opened it up and set the jumper to clear the cmos (of course I put it back after 15 seconds) and after that the set up screen was back to normal and I got in and set it to boot off the usb. By the way, my model would not boot from the usb3, only from the usb2 slots.

Search for it on youtube.. you have to make sure the bios is setup to boot off of the SdCard or USb boot. There are some options in the bios to do this.

What the other guys said. Additionally, maybe it's a defective one? If the USB 2.0 pin doesn't work in any of your motherboard USB 2.0 slots, then maybe try a RMA?

It doesn't have a USB, you can only connect it to the fan header in to the motherboard!!!

Don't use the disk, just plug it in, and it should work. If not look online for the driver download.

I boot from USB CD drives and from USB 'thumb' drives using either FreeDOS or LINUX. Works great.

It shouldn't take more than 2 mins or so to boot up. If the usb port you've plugged into doesn't supply enough current, it may not boot. If you've tried booting it off of the wall plug, though, and it still isn't booting, it's safe to say you need to return it. You win some, you lose some.

I'm typing this on an NX that is running Linux Mint 17.1 (Rebecca) Xfce with no proprietary drivers. Everything works "out of the box".

it must be USB 2 on both to work. It is not software based. I could never get it to work period.

You have to be able to connect it to a USB header. If you don't have any available on your motherboard there are a variety of expansion cards available to add USB headers. Just make sure you get one with a header, not just external USB ports.

Try looking in the computers BIOS - early in the boot process you need to hit one of the "F" keys to enter the BIOS.

I have not used the Cool Gear adapter hard drive as boot up drive..., but have you adjusted your bios settings to allow boot up from a USB hard drive?

you must have a firewire port. USB ports will not work.in addition, your firewire chipset must be ti compatible.

It is recommended to download the latest BIOS, and latest Drivers. It works for me, but flash the BIOS !
