Hi, I just got this Envy h8-1414 recently. I was able to boot from the DVD. Then I made a usb flash boot drive, it has the software clonezilla. Because I want to create an image of my harddrive and save it. I hit F9 to select the boot device. It recognized the usb and I selected it. Then, instead of booting from the usb drive, it looks like it is doing a network boot. So, I thought my usb is not right. Then I tried it on my other laptops and PCs, they all can boot from the usb. If I let the pc boot into windows 8, windows 8 will see the usb and everything is fine.
I just called the support and guess what they said. It is not supported. I cannot go into the bios to change the boot order. can you guys believe that? And I got the latest bios from the web site and updated it.
Does anyone else have this problem, boot from the usb flash drive?
thanks
