Should the BIOS recognize and boot from an external usb drive?
Hi,
I am using an Inspiron 8200, XP Professional, Bios version A11.
My external drives ( self powered) are connected via USB 2.0 ( using a card).
How do I encourage my BIOS to recognize the drive as a bootable option.

I take it then that more recent Inspirons can do this.
I guess I don't understand though, if the 8200, today, actively recognizes USB drives at a data access level what do the newer ( younger!) systems have that the 8200 is missing?
age is a wonderful thing! almost!
