Hi, all.
1.Since the floopy drive does not work properly now, can I disable it as boot device in BIOS?

2. Can I set up the boot device priority as follows?
1th IDE hard disk
2th and 3th DVD-ROM and DVD-R
4th USB


Probably, you'll have to read your own manual for yourself.


3. How can I know if the motherboard support the function of booting from USB stick?


Again, read your own manual for yourself. Also, in order to boot from the USB stick, you'll need to be using an operating system that supports this; Windows doesn't.


The motherboard information is on the URL, please refer to it
http://www.asrock.com.tw/product/K7S41GX.htm
the BIOS version is 1.40


The link you need to be looking at is:
