Aspire Revo - Mod BIOS boot options
Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2009 2:18 pm
Is it possible to modify a BIOS's boot device detection to distinguish between different 'removable media'. Let me elaborate:
I have multiple USB ports on my Revo. I want to boot from a USB stick, which is supported by the bios (AMI v R01.A1L). However, the SanDisk memory card also appears to the system as a removeable media. At boot up, I want the BIOS to refine its search so that it only boots from USB sticks and not other kinds of removable hardware.
I'm of the opinion that this may require a modification of the BIOS, so I would also be interested in who I could contact for this kind of work.
Cheers,
DL
