Accessing Boot Menu on Asus Netbook: F4 Key, Windows Loading Issue, ESC Key Function

Best answers

How can I install Windows from a USB flash drive on this netbook when F4 opens a flashing utility and ESC does not show the USB stick as a boot option?

F4 does not open the boot menu on this netbook; it starts the Easy Flash BIOS update utility, so use ESC, enter setup, and change the boot order so the USB stick is first [#15627227] If the USB drive does not appear, plug it in before powering on, check the Advanced/IDE Configuration and Boot tabs, and try disabling Fast BIOS Mode if the option exists [#15630164] [#15636213] The USB installer should be formatted as FAT32 rather than NTFS [#15627530] [#15634525] In the end, the problem was the flash drive itself: the BIOS could not see that particular stick, but it detected another USB drive without problems [#15637167] Easy Flash is the tool used to update the BIOS [#15637191]

    However, when I click on esc, the following window appears:

    And everything is ok after all. Where do you want to install the system from?

    I want to install Windows from a USB flash drive, but I do not know how to do it because I have never seen such a window (window No. 1)
    As for the second window, after selecting any option I am unable to proceed with the installation of the system.

    In this netbook, the F4 invokes the flashing mechanism.
    Press ESC and Select enter setup, look for the order in which to boot the disks - switch to pendive first.
    Unless you connect the USB flash drive, USB STICK or USB harddisk appears on the list (the one under ESC)

    When I select enter setup, I enter the bios and there is a window like this:
    Accessing Boot Menu on Asus Netbook: F4 Key, Windows Loading Issue, ESC Key Function

    And after turning on the computer and selecting esc, window 2 from my first post appears and there is no usb to choose from

    Heavily extensive BIOS :)

    USB flash drive running as FAT32 or NTFS?

    If you have the option, take another flash drive, it's nice if it was on FAT32

    I know that there is also an option like this:
    You go to the Advanced tab and I am looking for the Fast BIOS MODE option (it does not have to be in this tab but it is described in the manunal) and set it to disabled.

    Alternatively, check this flash drive on another computer, it will more precisely specify if it is the fault of a specific flash drive.

    Anyway, is this the boot of this flash drive with some program?

    Oki problem solved. I am ashamed to admit it, but the problem was on the side of the penny. I checked another flash drive and the bios can see it without a problem. Strange because some time ago I also uploaded wine from this pen, which now does not work and everything was fine. Thanks for your help, I didn't think it would be so trivial. Finally, I have one more question. junior84 wrote that the first photo is a flashing mechanism. What is it and what is it for?

    With easy flash utility you update the BIOS :)
    For example:
