Solving possible problems
Alas, but not always the process of loading from a flash drive on a laptop ASUS is successful. We will analyze the most common problems.
Bios does not see a flash drive
Perhaps the most frequent problem with the download from the USB drive. We already have an article about this problem and its decisions, so first of all we recommend that it is for it. However, on some laptop models (for example, ASUS X55A) in BIOS there are settings that need to be disconnected. This is done like this.
- Go to BIOS. Go to the "Security" tab, we reach the SECURE BOOT CONTROL item and turn it off by selecting "Disabled".
To save the settings, press the F10 key and reboot the laptop.
- We are loaded again in the BIOS, but this time we select the BOOT tab.
In it, we find the option "Launch CSM" and turn it on (position "enabled"). Press F10 again and we make a laptop restart. After these actions, the flash drive must be correctly recognized.
The second cause of the problem is characteristic of flash drives with recorded Windows 7 - this is an incorrect scheme of sections markup. For a long time, the main format was MBR, but with the release of Windows 8, the main position took GPT. To deal with the problem, restart your flash drive RUFUS, selecting the "MBR for computers with BIOS or UEFI" in the "MBR for computers and a UEFI" option, and install "FAT32" in the "FAT32" file system.
The third reason is the problems with the USB port or the flash drive itself. Check first the connector - connect the drive to another port. If the problem is observed, check the flash drive by inserting it in the obviously working connector on another device.
During booting from the flash drive, the touchpad and keyboard do not work
A rare problem is characteristic of laptops of the newest versions. Solving it up to an absurd simple - connect external control devices to free USB connectors.
