Add Boot Option using Insydeh20 setup utility

You need to create a UEFI specific boot USB drive to boot usb devices with a UEFI system. Some Dell models (like my new Inspiron 11) doesn't even have a legacy mode.

1) Disable UEFI secure boot (this is a key exchange that occurs for an installed system)

2) Create a UEFI enabled Windows OR Linux usb drive (MUST be formatted FAT16 or FAT32):

Unbuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI

Windows 8: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/154...

3) When you boot, press F12. If done correctly, it SHOULD show up as a bootable device.

Just went through this crap tonight and randomly answering forums in hopes of saving other people from this headache!

Goodluck!

Try adding the files to a bootable CD and try booting from the CD, this is what i would do in my own opinion.

Usb boot option not show in boot menu, how i add USB option in boot memu, acer aspire 3

Ok seems it`s not fixed

Step 1) Disable legacy protection if it has by entering your own password in BIOS, then disable legacy protection.

Step 2) Choice your way to fix this because there is 2 ways to fix this: Install Windows To Go on Flash drive and boot it from PC\Laptop second way is use two flash drives one where is installation second flash drive is need to use for place OS like Windows 10,8,7,Vista,XP Linux, iOS etc.

Step 3) If you choose version Windows To Go you need only one flash where to install it before it you need to get Software called Rufus at site: https://rufus.akeo.ie/downloads/rufus-2...., after download it run and it will show drive to install choose your and select disc icon after that browse your selected ISO installation if it has Windows To Go Rufus will automatically show this option if it has, like almost all ISO downloaded from Microsoft, msdsn.microsoft.com etc. it will take long hours but you will get OS installation on any Flash drive where is enough free space, reboot PC\laptop make sure USB flash drive is in first BOOT UP place set by BIOS. All OS is on your flash without any BOOT option straight by Rufus

Step 4) If you choose version 2 flash drive version you need 1 flash with OS installation files like Windows 7 and 1 flash drive where to install it, you can use similar software Rufus to write in flash OS installation without checking Windows To Go version in Rufus this is fastest way to install OS. When it`s start up Windows boot from flash installation you just need to choose drive like new 1 flash drive it will 100% install to it if you select it in installation time when installation is started.

Step 5) Check Disk formation - if you ask about File system installation than you need to use program called Command prompt or CMD you must run as administrator this by making shortcut on Desktop by right mouse click on desktop->new->shortcut and locate your CMD like C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe, now on new made shortcut right click->properties->Shortcut tab->Advance->check Run as administrator->Ok->Ok now you have CMD with administrator rights. Now just open new shortcut->type diskpart-> hit enter-type list disk->hit enter->type select disk(your flash drive watch who it is like:1 now command to type looks like: select disk 1-> hit enter->list partition->select partition 1->Delete partition->create partition primary->Now go to my computer open Flash drive it will ask Format drive click on it, but remember files larger than 4GB need NTFS file system so use NTFS before formatting new flash drive->Click format. After formatting flash Drive in large file system like NTFS you can install most newest OS on your Flash drive if that`s you wished to know.

i have lenovo G560 laptop and i am getting problem to slow boot, issue of bios. my laptop has h2o insyde bios (2.18) plzz solve my problem related of booting process.

I wish to answer to shubham sen

You need to open Event Viewer in Control Panel then locate Windows Logs/System you must repair all red error messages what shows up by Event notification system they are not critical but if you do that than all your boot time must be fixed it`s usually Component Services Dcom Config security permissions otherwise PC will boot slowly and full of errors, like you need to change permissions before you do it in Dcom Config in Windows registry by yourself if you are using Windows.

Yоu need to сrеаtе a UEFI ѕресіfіс boot USB drіvе to bооt uѕb dеvісеѕ wіth a UEFI ѕуѕtеm. Sоmе Dеll mоdеlѕ (like my nеw Inѕріrоn 11) doesn't еvеn hаvе a lеgасу mоdе.

I'm currently installing Gentoo on a Dell Inspiron 15 (3521 - Celeron 1007u CPU, 4 GB RAM, and an Intel X25-M [gen 2] 80 GB SSD with the same InsydeH2O uEFI interface {that suspiciously looks like a plain old BIOS interface) with secure boot on. Once I figured out how to give it the parameters that InsydeH2O wants / needs, I was able to leave secure boot on, enable the custom settings, and set up 3 devices that the laptop is allowed to boot from:

1. The HD
2. My USB drive with SystemRescueCD (a uEFI compatible live CD that is based on Gentoo, so perfect for use in installing Gentoo)
3. A Windows 10 USB made using the Media Creation tool

I'm actually in the middle of that install, so I cannot reboot at the moment to take pictures, but as soon as I am able to, I'll make a full post on what you need to do, and where you need to do it, so that you'll then be able to keep secure boot on and boot Ubuntu.

Getting the HD to boot Gentoo is a bit trickier, thus far, as I am also using rEFInd as a bootmanager for the laptop, and by default it wants ot use a path that seems to be too long for InsydeH2O's custom boot settings, so I am playing around to get that working as I want it to. However, with Ubuntu, as long as they follow the normal efi specs on file locations (namely, .efi files located in \efi\boot\) you should be able to install Ubuntu to the HD, then go back into InsydeH2O again and use the same procedure to allow the laptop to boot from the HD itself.

Feel free to send me an email if I happen to forget to come back here :)

My Toshiba C650 laptop doesn’t taking boot(windows 7 pro 64 bit) from pen drive… and it BIOS ( InsydeH2O rev 3.5 ) doesn’t have any option like uEFI enable or disable , secure boot enable or disable.. i have already set priority in boot menu… still it doesn’t accepting boot while my pre-installed windows XP gets crufted what to do help if anyone of you know the solution…. please its urgent

For dell

-plug win10 usb (uefi and secureboot ready)

-f2 setup

-enable uefi boot, disable legacy option rom boot, enable secureboot, enable ahci

-go and add boot option

-give it a fancy name

-choose usb under FILE SYSTEM LIST (look carefully to see USB written in one of several entries and choose it)

-click … dots

-find bootx64.efi under efi\boot directory (FILE NAME entry should look like \efi\boot\bootx64.efi

(If you have a small netbook you may need to choose bootia32.efi file)

I have a compaq presario laptop and i am trying to format it when I enter the BIOS the up and down arrows wont work so i can choose the boot options (or anything else), everything else in the BIOS works perfectly. How can I fix this? BIOS version: insydeh20

plz some one help me my toshiba is stuck in insydh20 rev3.5

what to do ?????

it is is very simple

 just go to the security part in the BIOS

Put a password for your hard disk as well as administrator

Immediately you will see an option which will let you enable or disable uefi

Once you have got the option,  just disable it

 next time you will get all the choice for boot sequence including USB boot
