I don't know if this is the right place for this but it was my best guess:
Nettle2 ECS MCP61M-HM with Phoenix ver 5.18
I can boot from USB *if* the system is monitored and has keyboard, mouse and monitor. Then I can get the boot menu and select the USB. This works fine.
However, there seems to be no USB boot option in the BIOS and what I want to do is boot from a USB when the sytem is headless. So, automatically.
Any words of wisdom?
Please provide a link to the BIOS download, you can find this on the manufacturers website.
Thanks.

I don't know where to download the BIOS. I have read that it's not on the HP web site. (The mobo is an HP model).

Do you have a better link? urlsdown.org doesn't yield the expected unles "urlsdown" is telling! I tried the name and BIOS Backup Toolkitv2.0 seems to be not available on any of the sites I tried.
Thank you so much for the help!!
Hi Fred3 ,
First , we can`t modify boot priority or add new devices to boot here ............... but we can find and unlock any hidden option ( i can find usb boot option if its existed ) .
Also , the backup file can`t be flashed after modifications as its missing the platform information from it .
Thank you
OK - thanks.
I've decided then to just use this computer as-is and do what I need some other way, on another computer perhaps.
thanks!
We have several different versions of this BIOS already modded around here, you can just have a look. In your position I would prefer the biosstar or the unlocked acer version. These two were able to boot my Acer E380 (MCP61PM-AM) and my HP-board (MCP61PM-HM) via USB-Stick per default and so I think yours will also do... Good luck so far!
