I need to update my BIOS. I have downloaded the bios update tool to create the usb flash drive. using that utility tool it asks to select an usb flash drive and problem here is i have connected the usb pendrive but it is not showing in the list.
do i need to any other third party tool to use my pendrive as a flash drive?
Try another USB port, not colored. Not all PC BIOSes can use all available USB ports ... I have a number of PCs that can only access USB1 and USB2 ports while booting and in BIOS, not USB3.
They are synonymous.
Try connecting the USB device before launching the utility, as it may only scan for available devices as it's launching.
Try to use a very basic formatting of the USB drive, FAT32, formatted under Windows. BIOS/UEFI don't like odd partitions from Linux or Apple, and most other exotic formats.
