I told the OP to activate and include *legacy* device/USB.
It will NOT be listed under USB. It is legacy devices and it
first has to be activated. Then a USB dvd can be used to
boot from an XP disc or a USB hard drive with an XP install.
Now go and learn about BIOS then you can join in the thread.


Yup. DVD drives surely are "legacy" devices. Makes
complete sense. And then the BIOS will give the user the
option of doing "Advanced" operations, as opposed to
"Retarded" operations, I suppose. How friendly of the BIOS.
Ptoooey!

What he meant was that for the bios to grab hold of external devices like mice
and keyboards and USB devices prior to the OS booting, it needs the bios
support for USB devices enables so that it can use them without Windows driver
support. So yet they are considered legacy by the bios.
