booting from USB on Windows XP SP2, P4 computer? It has a D915GAV motherboard.

Can anyone tell me if I can boot directly from a USB in Windows XP SP2, P4 computer?  It has a D915GAV motherboard.

 

At start up, I hit Delete key (none of the F keys would work) and got into the BIOS. From the Boot tab, I could not see USB anywhere as an option in the boot order.

 

I saw it listed as USB [disabled] and I enable it, but it is still not an item in the boot priority list. I have 2 optical drives but one is stuck and won't open and the other, as soon as any kind of CD/DVD is inserted, it shuts the computer down.   Can anyone say why it shuts down like this. It never used to happen.

 

Any way to figure out the USB booting priority?

 

Edit: I should add that  these boot options are enabled -don't know what they mean to not being able to USB boot though.

Silent Boot, Rapid Boot, Scan User Flash Area, -all enabled

PXE Boot to LAN -disabled, USB Boot - disabled but I enabled it.
