I am gathering information to be able to build a new computer

For anyone who has one... does the P6T have a startup option
to go to a secondary boot menu, which then allows boot from
a USB flash drive? (I have utilities on a boot USB drive)

This is like the F12 a Dell has during boot... but I want to
build my own, not buy a Dell

Thanks, John

I have a P6T Dlx, not installed yet, but there's nothing about
this in the manual. The Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 has the F12
boot device selection feature according to its manual. There's
no mention of using a USB flash drive. In the boot device
settings in BIOS, USB flash drive is not listed as one of the
optional boot devices. That doesn't mean that a USB flash
drive won't boot.

The manual for my Asus P5B Dlx manual has no mention of
booting from USB devices, yet, if I connect a USB floppy
drive, it will automatically go to it first.


As an experiment, I booted my P5B with a Sandisk Cruzer
in a USB port, and in the BIOS, the Cruzer showed showed
up in the HD boot list, so odds are that it would show up
in the Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5, F12 boot list. With the
P6T you would probably have to go into BIOS to select
a USB flash drive as first boot device.
