    i have the bootable usb connected but when i go to bios and set boot devices/priority, there is no usb option


    is there something i can do to force it to boot from usb or
    is there any way for me to flash firmware and bios w/o the usb?

    what bios are you running?

    do you see the message under the msi logo at boot up that says press f11 (i think) for boot menu? if so hit f11 and you will get a blue box pick the usb stick.

    if this is not there id double check to see what bios you already have...
