    Can you boot from a USB drive (N6110)?

    Just got my N6110 and am trying to figure out if I can boot from the usb drive. I don't see the option in the bios, but perhaps I'm missing something.

    Thanks......

    I managed to do it on mine. You need to allow it in the bios, and then on startup press the button that allows you to select where to boot from (usually F12) and then select floppy drives. Floppy drives stands for anything plugged thru usb.

    Thanks for the replies.

    My USB is a jump drive trio and when I select boot from floppy, it says no floppy attached, so I guess it won't recognize this type of usb device on startup. Not a big deal, I was really just playing around with the different options.

    I'll look into what options you have to enable in the bios to allow this and let you know later. I cannot remember now, and unfortunatly I cannot reboot at the moment. Because I believe you should be able to do it, irrelevant of your drive.
