    I have tried many guides to make my USB bootable but none have worked. I'm trying to flash the bios in my msi gt627 but I can't since my USB won't boot properly. Is there a guide that y'all would recommend? Thanks

    First, are you sure your USB is bootable? You can't boot from some drives.

    All USB drives are bootable. Some USB controllers don't support it.

    To make a USB drive bootable into DOS for BIOS flashing: http://genetikayos.livejournal.com/43998.html
