No USB after BIOS upgrade?
Posted: Mon Jul 24, 2006 6:19 pm
Hello, I know some stuff about computers, so this is a strange thing - it doesn't make sense to me. I have been working on a project at work that requires booting from USB. The computer I use is a Systemax with an Intel Desktop Board D845GERG2. The BIOS I used was version p10. I enabled USB Legacy Mode and was able to see my USB Flash Drive in the Hard Drive Configuration. I set the BIOS to boot from USB, and it "kind of" did. It would boot up to a j/ with a flashing underscore. I couldn't type anything in and it would not get past that screen. I tested my USB flash drive in my home computer, and it booted just fine, so I know it wasn't the boot files on the drive. It had to be a hardware/BIOS issue. So...I go to Intel's site and get the latest BIOS upgrade (v17) and upgrade the BIOS. Everything goes fine, everything works EXCEPT
-I can not see any USB devices at all with the new BIOS
Before, I could see the devices, but they had trouble booting. Now, after the upgrade, I can't even see the USB devices. I have set all the USB settings correctly to no avail. Intel's support costs $25 and I doubt they would be able to fix the problem. Anybody know how a BIOS upgrade could make it so I can't see USB? Or better yet, does anybody know how to fix the problem? Thanks.
