Hi all

I have an amilo m1451g. I used to boot live os from usb. The computer won´t boot from usb anymore. I have the removable devices as first option in the boot menu but stil the usb wont appear in the boot menu (F12).

Any suggestions are appreciated

I have the same problem with 1720. I tried to boot from Kingston data traveler USB flash but F12 boot menu can`t see it (it works with my desktop normally). So, I tried with small USB MMC/SD card reader and the boot menu can see it now and the boot process is working. Apparently, Amilo doesn`t like every device. The second problem could also be file system or MBR. If it`s corrupted, BIOS will not add device to the list of booting devices.
