    I have a very odd problem.
    I have tinyXP installed on the AAO, but want to restore limpus.
    I use F12 to get to the boot order screen and use it to try to boot off the USB limpus recovery key (which I have used before and it worked), but no matter what I do, it keeps booting to windows, bypassing the USB key as if the USB port is disabled for booting (I can use the port with windows).

    What can I do next?

    This may not work, but try reformatting the USB key using Windows and then remake your recovery key. Sometimes for some reason they just stop being bootable, but a reformat might be able to fix it.

    Believe it or not, the USB stick was the problem. Just before trying to do it from a windows formatted stick, I remade the USB recovery stick and it worked. So now the AAO is back to Limpus again.
