-[* icon_caution] ***Users who have trouble booting from USB directly:*** If your system has issues booting from USB, refer to [guide|54074|this guide] for a tool to allow USB booting. ***Note:*** This problem is rare on systems from 2005 and up. This only affects older systems and buggy implementations on older BIOSes.
