How to start Acer notebook computer on USB flash drive?

Some newly bought Acer notebooks are equipped with Windows operating system, and some are only equipped with a Dos operating system. Windows needs to be installed by ourselves. At present, the installation of the system is basically carried out through a USB flash drive, so it is necessary to set the boot from the USB flash drive in the BIOS. So how does Acer notebook set BIOS to boot from USB flash drive? Let's take a look.

Acer notebook set USB flash drive startup steps:

One; The method of starting the boot menu and entering the USB flash drive by using shortcut hotkeys;

1, the macro shortcut key is F 12, some computers have enabled F 12, but some computers have not enabled the shortcut key F 12, so we should first open the shortcut key F 12 in the BIOS and enable it.

After booting to the logo screen, press F2 to enter the BIOS.

2. After entering the BIOS main interface, under the main item, find F 12 Boot.

Menu, which means "F 12 startup menu" in Chinese, is now set to be disabled. We need to open it, first move the cursor to this item, and then press Enter.

3. When the Enter key is pressed, a small window will pop up with two options, one is disabled and the other is enabled. We need to select the enabled item, and then press enter to confirm, so as to open the shortcut key F 12, and then press F 10 to save and exit.

4. After restarting the computer, when entering the logo screen, you can press the shortcut key F 12 to immediately enter the startup menu.

Manager, here are four options to start with, 1 hard disk, 2 CDs, 3 network cards and 4 USB flash drives. If you want to start from the USB flash drive, you can use the up and down arrow keys to move the cursor to item 4, and then press Enter to start from the USB flash drive immediately. If you start with a CD,

Similarly, move the cursor to item 2, and then press Enter.

Second, set the BIOS to boot from the USB flash drive by traditional methods;

1, turn on the computer, and press F2 to directly enter the BIOS.

2. Select the boot option in the BIOS main interface. In the boot interface, there are seven options. Of course, because the BIOS version is different, the items displayed in it will be different. Here, the fourth item is USB.

HDD is a USB flash drive startup item, and the first CD/DVD: HL-dt-ST DVD DRAM GT20m-(PS) is a CD startup item. To start the USB flash drive, first use the up and down arrow keys to move the cursor to the fourth USB.

HDD, and then use F5/F6 keys to move it to the top first position, and then press Enter to confirm.

3. Finally, of course, save the settings, enter the exit option of the BIOS main interface, and find the exit save in the interface.

Changes means "exit and save settings" in Chinese. Of course, we can also save and exit by pressing F 10 in a faster way.

4. To add another point, if you install the system with USB flash drive and PE, sometimes you may not find the hard disk. This is because some PE systems are old and incompatible with ACHI mode, so you can't identify the hard disk. Now most modern PE systems support ACHI mode, so if you can't find a hard disk when installing the system, it's usually SATA.

Mode mode is not correct, so it needs to be modified in BIOS.

First enter the main item under BIOS, find SATA mode, and then enter.

5, and then a small window will pop up, where you can select the IDE.

For the mode item, press enter to confirm, so that you can find the hard disk under the U disk PE, and finally, of course, press F 10 to save it.

After reading the detailed operation steps, are you sure that the USB flash drive is started from BIOS? Setting the BIOS is very important for installing the system. Only when the BIOS is successfully set to boot from the USB flash drive can the system be installed on the USB flash drive. Then Acer notebook users should try it quickly.
