    Perhaps you need to go to BIOS Menu (F12 or F2 on first boot screen) and set that as first device to boot from,

    F12 should allow you to do it as a 'one time setting'.

    You might check to see that you have Notebook System Software installed, it is critical for the correct operation of USB devices.

    the problem is that i can not boot from my USB stick. But I tried to boot on other machines and it was booting just fine. There is no problem with my operating sistem. There is a problem, as far I can see, from the laptop bios cause it can not boot from my stick. So I seek for a solution...or a clue.

    Because is a different machine, D610 than D600 ,and bios revisions aren't the same. I tried hard to solve this problem, but in the end the answer was a bios problem...

    I searched the forum and here it says they fixed the problem on D600 BIOS ver A5:

    Check it here

     

    But why my D610 BIOS A5, A6 still has this bug?

    I am really disappointed in Dell's tech.

    But, thanks a lot, sorinn

    Usually: USB Storage Devices means that u can boot from any external device that has an usb cable (as external DVDROM's, floppy disks, HDD, USB sticks...) but in this particular case is not available. I manage to boot on any device as DVDROM, HDD and floppy (external) ,but no bootable USB...

    In fact the bios does not recognize the USB stick as a boot device.
