Will this work with my motherboard's boot from usb cd feature?

I'm no guru, but should be no problem if the drive contains a boot disk. So your problem may be how to make one; search on line for that. Further, a friend told me that he set his boot priority (press F2 while booting) to use the external drive (USB stick for him), and that worked, but not after he removed the stick. When he replaced it the setting was no longer there. So you would have to marry the drive to the computer and never unplug it. (On my laptop I mount it with velcro strips.) This may help.

If you mean will it boot from a multi TB drive, Yes, it has uefi bios.Most motherboards will support them with GPT format but only as a second drive.

Copy the software from the CD to a flash drive and the plug the flash drive into the ASUS and youre good to go. Works for me.I also purchase a little slim CD/DVD burner on ebay for about 46 bux. it plugs into two of the usb points, one for data and one for power. It's about 1/2" thick and just a little bigger the a CD.

Yes. The ASUS model P9X79 allows USB BIOS Flashback, which enables true plug and play UEFI flashing with any USB storage device.

This plugs into your computer motherboard and your computer sees it as an IDE , SATA add on. It should work if the software can see it. I have found it for boot, after I said it wold not. Jus thave to know your motherboard.

Nope. Msi has a separate bios for Win7 though. I go back and forth all of the time. Just be sure to flash the proper BIOS before installing. You can do this from inside of the BIOS. With that said, for 4.99, you can get start8 which makes it work almost exactly like Win7 with better support for the latest technology (usb3, ssd, etc.)

Yes, according to the support website linked below. However, it requires a later BIOS version than what may be currently on your board. You may have to flash the BIOS to use it.http://goo.gl/7108ON

thats is true IF u dont have USB3 conector on your motherboard... if u have it, then u can use both USB conectors.

If youre talking about a motherboard port..you can put it on the card without any changes. your mobo/software should see it fine. You may need to modify your boot sequence.

No. It will boot off of a CD in a CD Reader hooked up by a usb cable. (Not included)

Yes, it will be perfect, i have a similar setup minus the power supply, to connect it you have to plug into one of the internal usb headers on your mobo, it then splits that one header into three

If your motherboard has a slot called PCI express (PCIe) then it should wirk. The card comes with the CD with the drivers to load before insatlling the card.

Yes, my case has 2 USB3.0 and a USB2.0 port on the front that all work with this MOBO.

It should as it would appear as one of your HDDs in the bios which you can then select as a boot drive

What are you trying to install??? Have u tried booting directly from cd??? As soon as it boots on hit f2, f11, f12, or del one of those keys will bring u to bios or a boot menu option from there u should boot from cd :)

Yes, but make sure to download the driver from the Asus site and not use the driver in the included disc.

I used a SATA drive for the boot disk and it was running Windows Vista.It did have an IDE CD-ROM drive that worked fine.I think the BIOS allows you to set the IDE drive as the boot, but I no longer have the system with me.My family member went back to their home, out of state, so I have no way of testing.
