making computer flash drive bootable question

Post by jay »

Hi when I go into my bios it only says"boot from other device" or somthing like that,and doesn't show my flash drive.If I click yes to this will it boot from the flash? just need to get it clear befor I flash my benq for the first time tomorrow!! Also do you have to alter this back when you've finnished flashing for your computer to start to windows with the flash in as I'm not the only one using the computer? thanks -Jay

if you change your boot order and put the flash 1st it will look for a flash to boot o first
on some pc you have to have a boot flash in the pc then go into the bios for the pc to see it
