Hi All Received the HP yesterday and it is a nice bit of kit. Excited about getting it up and running but had to wait until this evening. I used dd to create a bootable usb flash drive. The HP boot sequence has an item detailed as USB Device Boot Priority but in the Boot Device Priority doesn't list it. The HP doesn't have a DVD/CD drive installed, so I assumed I could use the usb flash drive but it doesn't recognise it. Do I have to get a dvd drive installed please? Or is there some way of booting from a flash drive please?
