No usb boot setting in available in Asus laptop aptio utility version 2.01.1

try this
on start up get into the bios set up, click on the boot up tab and set the hard drive as first boot followed by and cd or usb stick setting
make sure that you save and changes before exiting

try restarting your laptop and press f8 a couple of times it should give you a screen to allow you to start in safe mode click that and just follow on screen instructions.or you might get repair you can try that,or start windows normally.

Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try but definitely it's the HDD if you've done most of the troubleshooting with Asus Support.
- Start by disconnecting other devices connected to that laptop.
- Next is to load Aptio Setup screen and make sure that the HDD is set as the first boot device.
- If these will not work try loading BIOS into its default by pressing F9 while your in Aptio setup screen.
- Lastly, remove the HDD off the laptop and see if it will get pass the Aptio setup screen because if it does that confirms that its the HDD that is faulty.....not saying this will work for you but please make sure you no what you are doing before you try this.

Hi there, please try these steps and see if it resolves your issue.

1. Select the Boot menu in the Aptio setup utility, select 'Launch CSM' and change to enable.
2. Select the Security menu n the Aptio setup utility, select 'secure Boot Control' and change to disable.
3. Select Save & Exit and press 'yes'.
4. Hold down the power button until the unit switches power off completely.
5. Switch back on and continually press the F9 button for about ten seconds; this should now allow the unit to boot up into the Windows Recovery menu.
6. Select 'Advanced Start Up' and wait until the recovery menu appears.
7. Select ' Advanced Options'.
8. Select 'System Restore' and select a date prior to when the problem occurred.

This is for an Asus laptop but even of you are not using an Asus the troubleshooting should be the same. Courtesy of Microsoft customer support. Asus Laptop Stuck in Aptio Setup Utility

System Restore worked perfectly for me; good luck

Go into the BIOS settings then to the device Boot Order.
If USB device is listed in the boot order then you can move the USB as the first boot device.
If the USB device is not listed then your ASUS noteboot cannot boot up with an USB device.

Did you get any error messages? Since the BIOS is available, the problem is likely with the hard drive or it's trying to boot from non-bootable media (DVD, flash drive, USB connected floppy/hard drive). Since you can access the BIOS, look for the Boot Selection Order and make sure that the hard drive is first in the list. If the BIOS doesn't see the hard drive, it may be bad or have a bad power or data connection. (You can try opening the computer and reseating the cables - see Asus for any assistance. I am not informed on opening the F9e.)
If the hard drive is seen by the BIOS:
Disconnect any USB devices (and the optical disc if it is in the drive). Turn off the computer. Unplug the notebook from the power supply and remove the battery. Wait 10+ seconds (or a few minutes) then reconnect the battery and then the power brick. Try restarting the computer. (This is a hard reset.)

What do you see on the computer screen? If you see a blinking cursor, the computer doesn't have the boot manager available (either corrupted or a new disc that hasn't had the OS installed). Use a Windows install/upgrade disc/system repair disc for your OS version (the service pack must match) or a third-party disc management tool to attempt to repair the boot manager.

You will need the optical drive as the first boot device in the BIOS or press Esc to access boot order list. (On some computers, it's F12.) For Vista or Win7, boot from the CD and follow the on-screen directions until you see a list of choices. If the hard drive was previously working, click on Repair your computer. Select the OS to repair then click Next. Select the Command Prompt option. Type in bootrec /ScanOs to get a list of available Windows OS versions on the hard drive. Use the command bootrec /FixBoot to fix the master boot record. The command bootrec /RebuildBcd will rebuild the list of Windows OS versions. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392 for details.

Installing a new hard drive and reinstalling the OS may be needed if you have a SMART or AHCI/SATA hard drive error. If you have a back up image, you may be able to restore that image.

I hope this helps. Please add a comment with any error messages for more assistance.
