    PCSPECIALIST Umm.. what do i need to enable in the bios to allow for usb booting?

    I'm trying to boot off a USB pendrive but it's not working.. I have shifted (in bios) the usb to top of boot list and disabled secure boot but it's just sitting there after saying 'loading minirt.gx...ok' Any other settings that need to be changed? The distro on the pendrive is runtime-live v7.
