jcgc50 – These instructions for creating Acronis usb bootable flashdrives will be of interest.

Hope this helps

Thanks, I went to the site and downloaded both of the FAT32 files. Changed the file extension to .tib as they suggested but Acronis TI Home 11.0 doesn’t see the files. Would you have any other suggestions?

jcgc50 – Unfortunately some usb flash drives are not bootable and it also often depends on the technique used to write the boot sector.
Are you able to try another make or another boot manager method? I have found Optima sticks to be bootable and reliable.

Assume you have tried exit and save changes in the bios and chosen usb hdd as first drive, ie. not usb key.
Have you tried the Lexar in another pc to see if it will boot?
Hope this helps

I have not tried another computer. I also tried a Sandisk stick. However, with the Sandisk I had other files on the disk. Would that prevent it from working?

Hi jcgc50,

Have you tried all of the USB ports? It may be that just one of those supports bootable drives.

Thanks, I have tried other ports. I go into BIOS and boot order, move the drive which shows up in the list to the nuber 1 position, click shift +1 to enable but it continues to boot to the hard drive.
