I am trying to boot a Linux Live CD on my windows 8 system. I want to boot it live then install it to an external hard drive to also boot from later/at will.
I have found the option under Settings to boot into the BIOS through advanced startup. When I enter into the BIOS this way it gives me no options for booting from USB, DVD, or any device for that matter.
Does anyone know a solution, where I can find the boot device options, or how I can make my system boot from these two devices? Thanks.
EDIT: If it's helpful here is the info

AMI usually offers such a feature in their BIOS, if the manufacturer (Samsung) didn't strip it away.
You should be able to change your boot device setting in BIOS, which you can access by pressing DEL, F2, Alt+F2, ESC, or F12 (depending on your specific BIOS) a few seconds after starting your machine.
In the BIOS look through the menus for a related setting to change.
