In order to boot, you have to have the usb stick, no way to avoid that as far as I know. I failed to load 918+ for the hardware (keep crashing), but 3617xs does work.

BigBro Posted July 19, 2018 Share #3 Posted July 19, 2018 You can install the dsm on the ssd, that's how I did, but you still need the usb stick for booting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I failed to load 918+ for the hardware (keep crashing), but 3617xs does work. you tried to install the 918 + PATTERN ONTO SSD, that failed ? but then you reached it to install a 3617xs PAT file ? (can you explan me how you did it ?) 1.) format USB stick 2.) ? copy juns bootloader to usb stick ? 3.) copy the PAT file to usb stick 4.) change BIOS boot order permanently to USB stick (i could use an USB SSD instead?) thanks again, my brain just wants to figure out the theoretically part dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
