    from something like this?

    my mobo says, has option to set usb as 1st boot device but, will it detect and bootup a cdrom connected to PCI usb?

    I would say yes, but I've never tried it. Why do you want a PCI card if the mobo already has USB onboard? Is it USB1.1 only and you need 2.0, in which case I can see why.

    If the option is there to boot from USB then it should work.

    Hi,

    I also think it should work. If your BIOS has a "USB Emulation" option, make sure it's enabled. This will allow support for most USB mass storage devices (ie. hard drives) at boot up.
