I realize there’s a hidden partition on the hard drive but I don’t really like trusting a single hard drive. Anyway, it doesn’t come with a system restore or Windows disk. The only major drawback is the tiny mousepad. I’ll probably do a more in depth review once we’ve used it a bit but it certainly is tiny and handy. We’re pretty happy with it so far (except we’ll be exchanging it for a new one since the ‘p’ key on this one only works half the time). In most PCs, the USB boot option will show up under one of the following headings: "Hard Disk Drive", "USB HDD", "" or "Removable Device ", so be sure to dig around if you're having trouble finding the right one to choose.We just picked up a little Acer Aspire One netbook. In this example, head to Boot tab, Use +/ - key to move Removable Devices to the first order. Use the keys given at the bottom/right corner of the screen to navigate through the BIOS. When you're in the BIOS screen, look for a menu that lets you see and change the boot devices or boot priority. Tip: In the bottom of the article, we sum up a list of the most common access keys used to enter BIOS Setup on Windows computer. You should see something that says " Press to enter Setup", " Setup =" or something similar, press that key repeatedly until BIOS Setup screen appears. Pay close attention to the first screen that appears. Insert the password reset disk to the computer and power on it. You PC will restart and boot from the USB disk.Įxample: Set PhoenixBIOS to boot from USB drive In First Boot Device, move USB Device to the top of the physical devices list.Navigate to Boot tab, then expand Boot Device Priority, it commonly shows a list of devices, such as Floppy, CD-ROM, First Hard Disk etc.

If you don't catch the message the first time, simply restart the machine try again.
