Computer not booting confirmed working USB
Boggin:
Yes, apparently it boots up fine on other machines.
It's just that when it's plugged in within Windows on this machine, AutoPlay isn't coming up to read the files on it, so it isn't being recognised at all and that is what we are trying to fix - without any success to date, but I'm waiting for feed back as to whether that MS Fixit will do anything.

It seems that your bios system supports flash drive boot. Did you get past POST , then you get the command promt blinking and sound of the system, denotes that it is having problem in POST stage. Did you check the Ram. Defective Ram also cause this problem if it is defective, or unerased memory in it. Just try this. . Remove the Rams , and clean them with soft cloth and place them again. Check. if it ok, then boot . If not , remove the battery cmos and clean it and then put in the place. Try this.
There is another way, just remove the battery , short circuit, the two nodes, by making contact the battery base with the side holders of battery, thereby erasing electronic memory from residue, if any. Place the battery and try to boot.
Please remove the plug from socket before attempting this.
Normally your failure to get past POST stage, is caused by RAM. If one of the Ram is defective and the other is working, this may result in failure of boot. Try to remove the extra ram if any, leaving the least memory required to test. Failure of RAM is the major cause of the computer not to boot up,
Did you check the uSB whether it is bootable

I'm sorry, but if I need to this to fix it, I'd rather leave it unable to boot a usb than unable to boot :shocked:
Anyway Boggin, the device is listed by name, and I will run the microsoft fixit asap. And jraju, should I disable quiet boot for you? It says something about POST tests in it's description :p
I'll keep you guys POSTed!
jraju:
Hi, Taco
use the ms fixit . Quite boot is otherwise called silent boot. If you disable, then all the POST messges, including your mother board symbol would show. That is all there is to it.

The ms fixit did not fix my problem.
Boggin:
Getting nowhere fast on this one :confused:
Do you have any other USB sticks with something on to see if it will read those ?
