Boot AcerPower S260 from USB flash drive

[alisonnic2]

I have an AcerPower S260 which I am trying to boot from a USB flash drive.

There are options in the BIOS for booting from USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, and USB-CDROM, but not from USB-HDD or USB. I've tried all of these without success.

I've also looked for an option to switch from UEFI to legacy, but can't find that anywhere in the BIOS.

Is it possible to boot an S260 from a USB flash drive? If so, can someone explain how?

Thanks for the link. However, I'd already read that thread. That's where I learned to look for the UEFI option in the BIOS, as well as USB-HDD. Which, unfortunately, the S260 doesn't seem to have.
