No boot from USB pendrive - matsonic MS8137c
Hi all!
I'v got the Matsonic ms8137c motherboard, and I would like to use it as a file server with FreeNAS. It would be a nice thing if I can do a boot from a pendrive, and leave all the available disk space for my personal data.
I've enabled all the USB possibilities in the BIOS, when it boots it recognize the attached pendrive (already bootable), but at the end it says "Boot disk failure".
I tried all the USB ports and 2 different pendrives.
Is it possible to have a boot from an USB pendrive, somehow?
Thank you very much for your help.
