Bios...boot from USB

[JohnHarrison1983]

Is it possible to for my sony vaio fs115b to boot from a USB flash drive.
I cant seem to see any setting in the BIOS, all thats there is Optical Drive, Harddrive, network, floppy. I have the latest BIOS version but would of persumed this option should be availiable seeing as all my other computers can.

Cheers.

I think they just need to write a new BIOS *sigh*

Dear Jak, 
Thank you for contacting us, Please be advised that you cannot boot from a usb flash drive.The usb device does not become active until windows , so unfortunetly this is not an option 

That is so untrue! other notebooks perfectly recognise usb devices until windows.

SONY should really solve this BIOS issue preventing booting from USB drives. I just faced it myself and still have no idea what to do.
