Re: [HELP] Formatting openelec to use windows

[ffxx]

Ok, so, I'm on openelec and I need to migrate to windows.
But how can I format / boot via usb a windows boot installer using openelec?

I will be very pleased if some experts give me some help : - )

Pop the windows install DVD or USB in your machine, when booting press the "delete" key to open the bios setup and select the windows installer device to boot from.

OR just unplug the OpenELEC USB stick before you turn on the PC until windows boots, then plug it in after.

Hey Irusak.....

I have the same issue as ffxx. Problem is that Openelec is installed on the main HDD in my HT-PC. When booting the pc up I can't get to the bios though. I hit the delete button but the Openelec splash screen shows then XBMC boots up. I can't get into BIOS to change the boot order to USB.

I'm wanting to upgrade to Kodi but as you can notice, not being able to boot via USB is a problem. I put the prepared USB in the slot but the PC does not boot using the USB.

Any help is appreciated');

It could be that you need to choose another key combination to get into the bios,
F2 or F12 are also often used,
If you want to upgrade to KODI,
You're also able to do it in OpenElec with a add-on.
Can't remember the name it's from Leopold if I'm not mistaking.

Hey TRaSH...

Thanx for the assistance bud.

I figured out the problem. My HT-PC is connected via a HDMI cable. When accessing the BIOS it does not show on the display and I thought I could not get into the BIOS. I connected the PC using a VGA cable and voila, I could see the BIOS screen now...

Weird but ok, got it working....
