Experts from all around:


I'm using an MSI 845U-C motherboard, 845D chipset. I just built this machine last year, but only recently did I discover that it doesn't support USB boot. What should I do??? Even asking the manufacturer didn't help. Please give me some pointers!!!!

Make a DOS boot disk~ add the USB driver under DOS... try loading the driver and see.

There are lots of ready-made boot disks on the forum.. just search around.

Thanks to the guy in the second reply, but I was hoping to use USB as the boot disk?

But what if there isn't a suitable BIOS? I checked on MSI's motherboard website and also made phone calls, still no luck.

The only solution is probably to flash the BIOS. If there isn't a suitable BIOS file... then you'll just have to wait...

Thanks, everyone. I'll keep waiting without giving up. Or one day I'll smash this MSI motherboard!

Thinking about it now, MSI's BIOS really is lousy!
My motherboard is MSI too!
I called them too!
They just said it isn't supported!
So depressing!
