    Hey everyone,
    I have an ASUS UL50vt that I am trying to create some live usb's on. It doesn't have an option for booting from a usb drive in bios so I was told I should try upgrading it. This is something new to me.
    Will upgrading BIOS disable or negatively affect the components or the win7 OS on my laptop?

    Possibly but not likely.
