I have an Asus h81 gamer motherboard, when I start the computer when loading the bios, when I want to press default settings, I want to save it with f10, right after that the uefi bios freezes, then after resetting rtc it does the same thing.I would like to ask how can I update the motherboard bios again and how can I make a bootable flash usb disk if I have already managed to format the usb device to the fat32 file system.?
3.Q &ＡQ1: How to confirm whether my motherboard support ASUS EZ Flash 3?A1：ASUS EZ Flash 3 only applicable to UEFI BIOS motherboards with built-in ASUS EZ flash 3, you can confirm the product specifications from the official website.
If you have an older computer system, your BIOS might not support USB-HDD boot. In this case, it may still be possible to boot Linux from USB if your BIOS does list USB-ZIP as a boot option. In order for this to happen, we need to trick the BIOS into thinking that the USB flash drive is a zip drive.
We can trick the BIOS by modifying the number of heads and sectors being displayed from the USB flash device to match that of a zip drive. Then we partition the drive using partition 4 (the partition that zip drives typically use). For this tutorial we will use the mkdiskimage application that comes with syslinux.
When you try to copy the files from the firmware directory to the bootable USB drive, you will be prompted to replace AUTOEXEC.BAT. Make sure to Replace the file in the destination as this will execute the command to launch the flash2 utility, which actually writes the firmware to the device.
1. Make sure that a system main battery is fully charged and AC power is attached. On tablet system, attach an external keyborad.2. BIOS Setup item Startup->UEFI/Legacy Boot needs to be "Both" or "UEFI Only"3. Attach a BIOS flash USB memory key to the target system.4. Power on the target system, then press F12 key to show Boot Menu.5. Select USB HDD in the Boot Menu, then press Enter to make the target system boot from the USB memory key.6. BIOS/EC firmware update process will start. Please proceed according to the display on the screen. System will reboot several times and actual firmware update process will occur during these system reboot events. Do not power off the target system during these system reboot events to complete firmware update process until operating system boots up.
If the motherboard itself is bricked, you would have to flash the chip itself; which is outside the scope of this. You might be able to find an already programmed bios chip on ebay; that would likely be your best bet.
Linux distributions running GNOME can easily make a live CD through nautilus and gnome-disk-utility. Simply right-click on the .iso file, and select Open With Disk Image Writer. When GNOME Disk Utility opens, specify the flash drive from the Destination drop-down menu and click Start Restoring.
If you have a new computer model (usually with Windows 8 or Windows 10) that has UEFI/EFI, make sure that you read UEFI/EFI configuration before you proceed to How to boot from a USB flash drive below.
I have this old desktop: dell deminsion c521. I made a bootable linux usb with rufus. It detects it in the bios as "usb zip" however when I try to boot from it I get a flashing underscore. Ik it works because it works on my normal desktop and I'm sure that my boot priorities are correct. Suggestions?
Step 3 Download the latest unRAID Server, and extract the files from the zip archive to your Flash. When extracting the files, make sure that the option to preserve the folder structure is selected. There is a config folder with initial configuration files, that needs to be correctly extracted. If done correctly, you should see bzroot and bzimage on the flash drive, plus a config folder containing files such as network.cfg and ident.cfg.
Safely remove/eject the Flash from your PC and plug it into your server. Power up your server and see if it immediately boots (with some motherboards it will). If it does not boot to the unRAID boot screen that displays a choice of starting unRAID or Memtest, reboot your server and enter the BIOS setup. Navigate to the appropriate screen(s) and select your USB Flash device as the boot device. In some BIOS, the flash drive may show up in the list of hard disks, and you may have to select it there. Save your BIOS settings and try to boot the Flash. Be aware that some motherboards will change the boot order when you add hard drives, and you will have to return to these same BIOS screens to re-select your flash drive.

Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. It can be be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, etc.); you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed; you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS; you want to run a low-level utility. Rufus is significantly faster than similar utilities and it's open source and free.
This issue occurs because the USB flash drive is listed as removable media. Therefore, the Windows operating system doesn't create a master boot record (MBR) on the USB flash drive when you format the flash drive to use the FAT32 file system. The USB flash drive is treated as a super floppy disk. The FAT32 startup code doesn't support starting a computer from a super floppy disk without an MBR.
USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, USB-HDD refers to several boot modes of the flash drive (currently most of the flash drive with boot function. There are several USB boot methods, such as USB-FDD, USB-HDD, USB-ZIP and so on. In addition to the longco Dual Boot type (odh), other models, including other brands of flash memory, are only USB-HDD, USB-ZIP mode boot function, without USB-FDD mode. This USB-FDD Boot Mode seems to be simulating the 1.44m soft drive mode, as if there is no important, in fact, the key technology is here. Why? Because many laptops, including elite mobile PCs, Toshiba models, and even IBM's latest R30 series laptops, support only USB-FDD-based boot, apart from longco's Dual Boot, other flash drives do not support these laptops. I recently bought an IBM ThinkPad R31 laptop. Because of the need for floppy boot to fix WINXP that comes with it and does not have a soft drive, all dual-boot USB drives will work in handy. So currently, apart from the longco Dual Boot Model, other flash drives cannot be replaced .)
This is a feature on the mainboard that protects the BIOS from being flashed accidentally. It is called BIOS flash protection. Please disable this function with either a hardware jumper setting or with the CMOS Setup Utility. Please refer to the manual for more details on how to disable flash protection.
7. When this process completes, the USB drive will be able to boot the machine into a DOS environment. This becomes a useful tool for running diagnostic software (Seatools, memtest, etc) or for flashing the latest BIOS. Depending on the model, the setting in the BIOS to choose in order to boot from a USB key is USB-ZIP or the manufacturer of the USB drive itself.
The reason why we need to boot computer from a USB flash disk is that sometimes booting from USB is necessary and convenient. For example, when the Windows gets damaged and it can't be logged in; meanwhile there is important data in the partition C so data will lose if you reinstall system; then it'll be a good decision if you boot the computer from a USB flash disk and copy data to another partition.
Booting from USB flash disk requires the computer support booting from USB devices (which is supported by most of the motherboards now). Operation steps are as follows: insert the USB flash disk to the USB slot ahead of powering on the computer; then press the key "Del" and enter the BIOS setup; enter Advanced BOIS Features and set first boot device as USB-ZIP or USB-HDD; save and set the BIOS setup and the computer will boot from the USB flash disk.
