Anyone else having trouble booting from this? I can boot from a full Fedora/Ubuntu install on 2/3 systems. BIOs problem with the third? - CS Grad Stud

Try formating it in other than FAT32. I use NTFS, which allowes me to copy larger files etc.

I had issues with at least two major PC brands whereas depending on the USB port I use USB flash drives, the unit is not recognized by the BIOS/UEFI, or it detects but later can't be open by the install application/boot loader. Sounds silly, but try to use a different USB port and see if that works for you.

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?

I'm running Linux Fedora, and it works like a charm with no setup at all. just plug it in and go. I've never tried Ubuntu, but I assume it would be pretty much the same.

Did u watch a you tube tutorial on installing it? And double check connections? Mine started after install but it took the computer thru all sorts of blue screens like a foreign object had been implanted and was leaching off the system.

Hi Elizabeth,Make sure that you have inserted card into a PCI-Express V2.0 x2 Interface! or x4, x8, x16 slots.You can't boot directly to this card unless you reinstall the OS. If that is not the case adjust boot priority appropriately, and Check for motherboard BIOS update.Try testing card on another slot or another computer.

Thanks, did you mean the F1 function key? I think I got to the ROM bios using F1, but I'll try F12 as well. Also, I was able to install an application I had on a CD by first copying everything from the CD to a USB thumb drive, and then simply clicking on the setup icon on the thumb drive. Cool! Thanks again!

I have not tried yet.it seems to be tricky with the UEFI boot.I went the virtual machne way instead. It runs great with the amount of power this beast has.Best regardsClement

Sorry Frank. I'm still waiting for the CPU. I ordered this M/B and the 20th Anniversary Intel CPU. Haven't got the CPU in yet so have not fired up this board.

I used this board and installed a Richland without a bios update. Worked fine. Used this processor: AMD A6-6400K Richland 3.9GHz Socket FM2 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor AMD Radeon HD AD640KOKHLBOX

I am having post problems with this board and memory. I found links to others having same. Followed troubleshooting from that site and pulled 3 of my 4G Cosairs out, leaving 1 in slot 2 and it booted. I see that the online QVL list is a C9(xmp) rather than the C9b I bought from Amazon.... trusting the "What others are buying" when choosing memory. Maybe I have a bad stick, or three. Maybe not compatible despite the one stick booting. Looks like on Newegg they combine Gskill 16g with the ASUS P8z77-v deluxe. Oh well. Maybe I can return if bad sticks or exchange if not compatible. As much as I spend on these builds from Amazon/NE/TD they should work with me. I am having post problems with this board and memory. I found links to others having same.

I think so. I have not been able to get mine to work as when I get in bios and set it up nothing happens. Have problem getting into bios and nothing seems to work. Think it is perhaps a bad board.

I solved my own problem. When booting up, I needed to press F2 to enter into the Bios screen. Then I just needed to press F10 to save changes. When the computer booted, it showed 2GB of RAM. I'm happy with this product.

It wasn't for me. I have a regular BIOS system (not the UEFI) so I was not able to use any drives connected to it to boot from. But it does work well for secondary drives.

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

A lot of computers are set in the BIOS to boot from a removable USB drive before the main HDD (Drive "C"). This will DRASTICALLY slow down boot up time, if not crash it all together on some systems, due to looking for a boot sector that isn't there. The solution is to run "setup" on your machine, and tell it to use your internal hard-drive as the primary boot device, OR if you can set the "boot order", set it to Floppy, CD-ROM, Main HDD, Network, THEN set USB removable drives as the last resort to boot. That will fix it. (NOTE: Always set the CD-ROM drive to boot before the HDD, just in case you need to reload windows sometime.)

Board is very touchy. Several comments on other forums indicate problems. We have tried it in two different Desktops. One worked satisfactorily, one did not. Neither were Dell systems. We found the main issue was power management that disabled the board. This was true even if we unchecked this is the driver. We did find the StarTech has a download to allow power management by the motherboard to be disabled and a new firmware release to be installed. This helped a bit. The main advantage was after the updates we could restore the driver with a warm boot but the system still loses the board on a weekly basis when we do our intensive updates to an external drive we have connected to the card. So I would be cautious. Maybe other products s/b checked out too.

Mmm ,,, What install/set Bios?? ... I put mine in and the system recognized it as drive g: and Done. Could be a bad drive as Andre says ... Try formating. My Sys is Win7/63bit HP Elite. If your replacing C: then use the transfer program from WD Free and works great.
