Windows 10: I can't find my USB flash drive in the boot order settings.

The only things listed there are:

CD/DVD

USB CD/DVD

Hard Disk : Windows Boot Manager (ADATA SX6000NP)

USB Hard Disk

Network : UEFI : PXE IP4 KIller PCIe Network Controller

Disabled


And because of that, the only options I can boot into is the network and the Hard Disk.


That is, if the boot mode is set to UEFI and UEFI w/ CSM.

But, if it's in Legacy mode, they become:

CD/DVD

USB CD/DVD

Hard Disk: WDC WD10SPZX-17Z10T1

USB Hard Disk: SanDisk Extreme 0001

Network: Killer E2500 Boot

Disabled


Unfortunately, I need UEFI in order to continue reinstalling Windows. (Windows update bricked my system)

This is how it bricked it: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=319506.0 (sorry if it's too long)


And also, if I were to continue with Legacy mode, it shows: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is not of the GPT partition style."

Booting from USB on x38 Motherboard, NOT?

Typically the USB should be listed under the hard drive boot order. Set your "Boot Device Priority" to HDD first, then set the hard drive boot order to the USB stick first.

 

Boot linux on USB drive

it might just be that your bios doesn't support it, but it should anyway.

make sure you go into the bios and make sure "boot other device" is enabled and try seeing if the usb is listed as an hdd.. as bootable flash drives are usually picked up as usb hdd's and check if your bios detects the flash drive.
