A couple of notes for this thread.
Some BIOS's will not show the option for booting from a USB
device if the device isn't plugged in when first booted. I have 2005
ASUS motherboards in my classroom that do this.
I've also seen some newer machines that will show the option with
the F12 boot function key is pressed.
Last note, with my g4l projects I show my students how I can wipe
a disks and then completely restore the system in about 40
minutes with a replacement disk or to the same disk.
Michael:
Thanks for adding your notes.
I made sure the USB is plugged in before powering on, so hopefully I
have covered that potential issue.
f12 key did nothing.
I haven't given up on the idea of trying G4L (as I mentioned in earlier
email). I admit I am considering bailing on the whole thing per my
earlier post this evening, but I am nagged by the thought that "its
gotta be me that isn't getting it" given the posts I get telling me that
its doable.
