Can’t Boot from USB Samsung Laptop?

However, sometimes, you may encounter a problem that prevents you from booting with a USB. Generally, your laptop will not detect USB when you try to boot from it. There are mainly six solutions to deal with this problem.

#1 Change BIOS Settings

Firstly, your BIOS settings may lead your USB invisible. If so, just configure your BIOS following the above content.

#2 Reformat USB

Secondly, you may come across an incorrect partitioning scheme that is common for USB with recorded Windows 7. Also, the file system of an eligible USB should be FAT32. If yours is NTFS or other formats, it can’t be detected by your machine. Thus, you need to convert NTFS to FAT32 with a reliable partition tool like MiniTool Partition Wizard.

#3 Check Integrity of the USB

Thirdly, If the USB drive itself has a problem, you can use MiniTool Partition Wizard to check for bad sectors.

#5 Change Connection Port

Also, a simple wrong USB slot can result in the USB device being undetectable. Just check the USB connection. If there is a problem, you can just use another USB port. Both USB 3.0 and 2.0 are supported.
