   Greetings Ben!   
      
    BR> Hi All,   
      
    BR> I recently upgraded to USB 3.0 which works great once Wins 7 Pro is   
    BR> running, but the BIOS won't recognize the USB 3.0 drives as bootable.   
    BR> I have an Intel DH55HC Mobo with the latest BIOS update. Doc's at   
    BR> Intel say USB 3.0 is supported at the BIOS level ... one note says to   
    BR> enable the xHCI bit but I don't have that option in the BIOS setup :(   
    BR> The USB 3.0 hardware is provided by a PCIe card. When I had a SATA   
    BR> port card in that slot it booted fine.   
      
    BR> Anyone else booting from USB 3.0 drives?   
      
   I'm still stuck with v1.0 USB ports...but, I did buy a PNY 8gb memory   
   stick that came with instrucions on using it to boot a system. I may have   
   to review that procedure and see if it's plausable to do on v1.0 USBs.   
      
      
       Have a day!
