S2600CP2J: How to boot from USB?

1,115 Views

Hi everyone, I am running an Intel S2600CP2J motherboard in a DP config, and I have two separate SSDs attached to SATA ports 0 and 1. I would like to set up a multi boot setup with macOS Sierra on one drive and Windows 10 x64 on the other.

But, I am struggling immensely with getting the motherboard to recognise the two USB thumb drives I've set up as boot disks. For the Windows USB I've set it up as:

- FAT32

- Master Boot Record

- Used macOS diskutil to set up a Windows 10 ISO on the drive.

For the macOS Sierra boot disk:

- Mac OS Extended Journal

- Apple GUID Partition Map

- Unibeast to set up EFI installer for macOS Sierra installer

- Added Multibeast to the drive

I'm not quite sure what the issue is, but I simply cannot boot from either USB disk, not as a boot option nor from the EFI Shell.

Any assistance would be highly appreciated.

Cheers
