(tutorial) Gigabyte AM2 problem s instalacijom Win 10 putem USB-a i Nvidia driveri

[Blue Spirit]

PROBLEM:

Solving the dreaded Gigabyte "Won't boot from USB" problem
As mentioned in this post, I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 "Maverick Meerkat". I mentioned two fairly major problems I had with the Ubuntu installer in that post. I also had another problem, but this one isn't Ubuntu related.
I had chosen to install from a USB key, but what I had forgotten is that the motherboard in the PC is a Gigabyte motherboard, and it doesn't like booting from USB. This is a common problem with Gigabyte motherboards - just Google for Gigabyte and "boot from USB", and you'll see many variations of "can't boot from USB", "won't boot from USB", "unable to boot from USB", etc, etc. What happens is that the motherboard just completely ignores the USB key; effectively, it's like it isn't there.

Unfortunately, there isn't a solution to be found in any of those posts. Or at least I ran out of patience before I found one, although it's clear that the problem is to some extent USB drive dependent - Gigabyte motherboards seem to like some drives, others not. So rather than continue to go through endless posts that don't offer solutions, I started playing around. What I found was:

• With any other drive in the machine, even if the boot from the drive was disabled in BIOS, the Gigabyte motherboard would still ignore the USB key and boot from the other drive;
• With all other drives physically unplugged, boot would fail with a "Insert boot disk and press enter" message. The light on the USB key didn't even flicker at any point in the process, indicating that the USB key wasn't even being seen;
• However, that was where things got interesting. What I found was that if I then unplugged the USB key, and plugged it in again, then pressed enter, the USB key was recognized, and the machine booted.

Now this is a step in the right direction. If you don't have any other bootable drives in the machine, then you can just follow that procedure. Problem is what if you do have other drives in the machine? In my case, the intention was to install Ubuntu on a dual booted drive, so having a bootable drive in the machine was required, and the there wasn't any way to get to the "Insert boot disk" prompt - the machine just booted from the drive I wanted to install Ubuntu to.

Solution:

Solution:

The Solution

Thinking about this, the USB key only being recognized if it was unplugged and then plugged in again suggests that somehow, if the USB key is inserted at the time the machine is powered up, the motherboard gets into a mode where it doesn't recognize the key and it gets ignored until a operating system driver starts up. But later in the boot cycle, the motherboard does seem to be able to recognize it. So what I did was simple:

1. I started the machine with the USB key unplugged;
2. Once the machine had got through the first parts of its boot sequence, I plugged the key in, then hit the F12 key to bring up the boot menu. And on the third try, there the USB key was, on the list of hard drives. And it booted fine!

Two thing to note here - what I found worked, for me anyway, was to plug the USB key in just after the BIOS displayed the list of PCI devices, and just as it gave its "Verifying DMI pool" message. Secondly, note that the USB key appears on the list of hard drives.

Now I must admit, plugging the USB key in during the boot sequence is neither elegant or reliable - you'll probably have to try it a few times - but it worked for me.

God, thanks for your tip. Gigabyte motherboards are a huge pain in the ass for USB boot. I can't believe that in 2010 we are reduced to plug our usb keys ata certain time for them to work.

Anyone else looking for a solution to this I found that with an F8 bios update I could not boot from a USB stick, when I down graded to F6 I could. NFI why...just telling that it works.

Ferda April 22, 2011 at 12:42 PM
I can recommend GA-EP35-DS4. Gigabyte, but no problems with booting. Or maybe it was becasue I used unetbootin instead of manually syslinuxing the USB stick.



rtalcott December 14, 2011 at 1:19 PM
I have 4 ma785gm-us2h boards...all booted from usb until I upgraded 3 to the F12A BIOS so I could use a few more cpu's...the 3 upgraded boards lost their ability to boot via usb the one board that I did not upgrade will boot from the same usb that the other three will not.


'DASHING' SINGH March 11, 2012 at 11:40 AM
yeah i too was searching for the options that where will it show the 'USB' option in the boot menu!!
But later I noticed that there is '+' symbol in the front of 'HDD' ( the first option. selecting whic Menu expands and there bingo! here is your USB disk and HDD.
Though i updates the bios to next version too.
Somehow..this article helped..ha ha
Thanks!

Wow. Very un-intuitive. F*ck you Gigabyte! Thanks SashingSingh.



Unknown March 14, 2018 at 11:44 AM
+1 for this
Found it under HDD menu (above the boot order in Advanced Bios Settings)

Anonymous May 14, 2012 at 5:08 PM
Thank you. Your solution worked perfectly on the first try. I am not sure, but I think that the Gigabyte motherboards have trouble seeing MBR usb drives. I only had OS X installed on my machine since I built it and never had any trouble loading the GUID usb drive installers. This is just a theory based on my experience. I may be wrong.

[SOLVED] Here is how I got around this problem. My particular motherboard is Gigabyte GA-E350N.
It would refuse to recognize/boot any of otherwise perfectly working USB images.
The method that ALWAYS works for me is to use SanDisk Cruzer Fit USB stick. I have tried 5 different sticks and only the SanDisk works flawlessly. I don't have to insert it at any particular time of BIOS boot sequence either. It will be recognized after you power-on the machine all the way through the boot. I used unetbootin to create the image.
Good luck.


Alexys Hegmann November 29, 2012 at 9:41 PM
DASHING SINGH, you're my hero!!! I thought that the + meant "default option" xD

asteria syros January 24, 2013 at 2:47 PM
what a pain....i was trying and trying and it was so simple...
f12, then +hard drive
and there you select your usb...



Anonymous February 15, 2013 at 10:52 PM
thanks for the tips



idude February 22, 2013 at 10:37 AM
You were right about everything you said. Thank you for posting this, I sure wouldn't have figured that out on my own. Not my problem is the usb apparently doesn't have drivers on it. If is was easy to do this stuff then it wouldn't be fun!

Hi what to do if even when you press the + next to the hard disk sign you don't get the USB key ?

if your still having issues with booting from pen drive i have a solution use a nackered windows disc to boot from cd then remove b4 installing windows so it cant try the disc it should auto select flash drive n get files from flash drive worked for me



Anderson Cardoso June 5, 2014 at 12:07 PM
hi.
Another solution is, using the "rufus software" to create a usb boot. (http://rufus.akeo.ie/)
In the advanced tab (clicking in "format options), select the option: "ADD FIXES FOR OLD BIOSes (extra partition, align, etc.)
Work great for me.



Jeff September 28, 2014 at 2:03 PM
Blogger Anderson your "rufus software" solutin worked for me! Thanks!



Unknown November 5, 2014 at 5:36 PM
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P trying the Rufus advanced for older bios. none of the others worked. not evern sandisk. so been usind DVD-RW for all test OS's Windows 10 v9860 latest. Rufus is last hope.



Unknown November 6, 2014 at 7:05 AM
Did not work, Nothing fixes my Gigabyte, so still use CD-DVD-RW
Rufus -= advanced = NO, slip or reset, it sees but s till every time the can not read, stick in a better mobo and works perfect so not my work, it is the GigaByte



Eric Layne November 15, 2014 at 6:50 AM
'DASHING' SINGH's solution worked for me. Just plug in the usb before powering on, then hold down F12. When the boot menu appears, highlight the option that says "HDD" with a plus sign next to it and press enter. A new boot menu will appear with the usb as an option. Simple! Thank you Dashing Singh.



Unknown November 15, 2014 at 10:18 AM
yep that part works, it does show +HDD, then yes it does see the USB. but No it never boots, it sets and sets and spins and never boots, tested on Win7, Win 8, Win9 and Win 10.
and the USBS all boot to different systems.



Anonymous February 25, 2015 at 10:28 PM
Hey, it worked for the ga-k8nf-9 like Eric Layne said. Thank you Eric and Dashing Singh. +HDD was the solution.



mugge March 6, 2015 at 4:32 AM
THE solution for all boards won't boot from USB is using a CD-ROM bootloader: Create boot-CD with "Plop Boot Manager" http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/index.html, put in the USB-stick to boot from, boot from the Plop-CD and simply select "USB" in the Plop-Boot-Menu! The system now boots from the stick!


FabeNovember 5, 2017 at 3:39 PM
worked for me.....ty




Ferlief May 7, 2015 at 7:40 PM
I just brought the SanDisk Cruzer Fit USB stick to the top of boot sequence in bios. Saved and then it was fine. The menu in F12 didn't work for me. I have ga-78mlt-usb3, the bios is still a older version.

Unknown May 8, 2015 at 11:29 AM
I finally got my GA to use USB. my fix was REFLASH the BIOS with latest. same old one.. but FLASHEd anyway. now f12 - select +HDD and if the USB was inserted prior to BOOT - It will see an Boot from USB.

djk80J uly 27, 2015 at 10:33 PM
************What worked for me is in the BIOS there is a setting that says "Wait for HDD power up" in seconds default is 0 - I changed it to the max of 15 and then plugged in my my USB on the bios splash screen and it finally showed up under HDD...This probably took me a solid 20 minutes of trying. I'm not sure if changing the power up setting in the bios was the deciding factor but it worked first try after that and I'm not rebooting again to find out. The setting is there in the bios. See if this works for you too.



Khurram Saadat November 16, 2015 at 10:41 AM
F12 then +hard drive then USB worked like a charm. Thanks Asteria.

hi guys,i'll try to help... i was able to boot on my g31m-es2l 2.4rev... this helped to me:
I rolled back to bios FH version...Take HDD(in my case SSD) and plug it to sata0 and put dvd drive into ide and set in bios to COMBINED. Able to load my hdd from another computer with win10 (That shit was ridiculous to me,how was that even possible xD) but i installed windows without any problems and it was pretty fast.
gigabyte mobs r pretty shitty,but this board is beast... hope this helps... cheers!



Dr Morbius March 23, 2016 at 9:39 PM
I was able to get my system to boot using the timing trick you described, but it was really hard to get the timing just right. That was when I realized that I have been using a USB keyboard. My Gigabyte MB also had a 'combo' PS/2 keyboard mouse port. When I plugged a PS/2 keyboard directly into that port, then I was able to boot off my USB device every time. I suspect that this is how Gigabyte did all of their testing. Anyway, Thanks for posting this! I hope my 'trick' helps...



SteveApril 29, 2016 at 8:14 PM
Ive found with my gigabyte board that if I have too many usb devices plugged in, even ones not active, it won't find the flash drive. I unplug everything but my keyboard and it usually finds it.

Gigabyte PC's fail to recognize your USB because you didn't use the windows download tool to copy your iso from your PC to your USB. Go to wikihow you'll find steps to follow to turn your USB to a bootable USB etc etc I did it and I faced the same problem you are.

I found an option on the bios under "integrated peripherals" called "usb storage function". After I turned it on then reset, I see the usb drive in the list of hard disks. With that option off, it isn't there.



Wee Sritippho February 12, 2018 at 10:33 AM
Works for my mother board too (g41m-combo). Thanks.

Finally got it to boot... Do not know what last thing has decided it to work: I have for the last try removed all other usb peripherals excepted the keyboard and re-written the stick with rufus https://rufus.akeo.ie/ and option to support old buggy bios (ntfs formatted).

Drugi disk sam sa DISKPART om pripremio isto kao što i obicno pripremite USB stick za instalaciju Windowsa 7 ice i kopirao fajlove sa WINDOWS.ISO -a na drugi hard - ili isto to što Windows7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool pripremi USB stick i kopira instalaciju na USB.

Palim racunlo, stiscem F12 i odabirem drugi hardisk da se s njega buta racunalo i pokrece mi se instalacija Windowsa sa hardiska i usnimavam winse na prvi hardisk
