Bootable USB device requirement for ASUS Eee PC 1000HE

0

Does the EEE require a particular USB flash drive capability or property?

I have a Sandisk flash drive that boots correctly on every accessible USB-bootable computer. For some reason the 1000HE BIOS has difficulty seeing the known-good Sandisk flash drive as a boot drive.

Have you tried witha differe t flash drive? When the machine boots, try pressing ESCto see if it lets you select the drive from a list of available boot devices. Also try F2 or Del to get into the BIOS and manually set USB devices to boot first. – Peter – 2016-07-01T03:17:26.787

Pressing the ESC key did it for me. It brings up a boot menu and the USB device containing the .iso file will show up and can be selected.

I struggled getting USB flash to boot Linux on Eee PC 1005PE. What worked for my flash drive was disabling Boot Booster in Bios.
