Hello everyone, I've installed the Windows 8.1 to the partition of my WD Elements 1TB USB3.0 disk. It's working, BUT when I tried it to start on the notebook ASUS PRO5DIJ which has Award BIOS it won't boot, today I tried to boot it on the another computer built as Prestigio and it didn't boot, too. I didn't have time, so I think I saw the Award BIOS. There's something really funny. I've got computer with ASUS motherboard which has Award BIOS and there's no problem in booting. Booting stop at the flashing underscore. I can restart it as much as I want and nothing. Can you help me, please?
Plug it into a USB 2.0 port on the PC that wont boot using the 3.0 port. Edit: To boot my W2Go USB 3.0 on my main rig (ASUS MB + AMI UEFI Bios) I have to plug the flash drive into the USB 2.0 port, I have read on the ASUS forums for my MB that upgrading the Bios might help w/ this problem.
I've got the Kingston DT Workspace 32GB with Windows 8 (not 8.1) and it's USB3, too. And it can boot on all of tested computers. I've got Acer Aspire 5315 which I didn't try. And no offense I'm not in IT two days, I've got successful OS X Mavericks on PC installed and I made W8.1 AIO with three languages. I should've write it above. I'M NOT NOOB
I thought it's a problem of Award BIOS, but now it's looking as problem with computers which have integrated Intel graphics and Award BIOS. FYI: It booted on Acer Aspire 5315 (Acer and Intel), on PC (Asus and nVidia) and on PC (Dell and Intel). Edit: I've updated BIOS before on notebook and nothing. I thought about that too, because I previously worked on computer where doesn't work Windows 7 and after updating BIOS it can boot also Windows 8. And on computers where can't boot there's not USB3. I think it's something with integrated Intel graphics and Award BIOS. I don't have AMD APU platform to test.
