This is a hint that you've probably already got covered, but just in the off chance that it helps... I've come across a case where having the SoaS USB stick inserted into the computer before and while changing the boot order in the computer's BIOS seemed to affect how the stick is later recognized

HI Friends, I am now struggling with several new SoaS issues. Let's solve them one at a time. If you have an eeePC900 can you tell me how to get it to boot first from a USB stick? It keeps going directly to Windows. I have managed to enter the BIOS utility and on the Boot page ch
