 Booting Removable Media in EFI: 
 Removable devices are enumerated *usually* after the BootOrder list has been exhausted without a boot. However, removable device enumeration will take place before you are presented with the EFI Boot Manager menu when you hold down the correct key (while powering on) to enter the EFI firmware screen. You will notice a short delay in getting into the EFI Settings page whenever you press the 'magic' key during power on. That is because the removable device enumeration process is occurring and adding entries for any/all removable media that may be inserted. Once the enumeration process has completed, the EFI will halt the boot process and you are presented with the EFI Boot Manager Menu from which you can make your selection.

     We hope that you will find this information both interesting and helpful. With the information outlined in this and other sections of this guide, you will have a better understanding of what is happening 'behind the scenes'. That should prove useful when it comes time to work your way through troubleshooting a particular issue related to booting using UEFI. This guide represents our best effort at explaining a very technical and difficult to understand specification in terms that everyone can understand. For this reason, some parts of the explanation have been over-simplified for ease in understanding the overall concept or process that is taking place. For those that desire more information that what is available in this article, extensive information about UEFI is available here <ulink url="http://www.uefidk.com/learn" /> and here <ulink url="http://www.uefi.org/" />

     IF the implementation of EFI on your system is not compliant it may never get to the point where it loads <filename>fallback.efi</filename> - it still might not boot.

     The only way to know for sure, is to plug in a USB, boot using the 'magic' key to enter your EFI Settings, change your boot priorites in the EFI to put the inserted USB at the top of the list, save and exit. Leave in the USB and power on without pressing any keys. If it boots to the USB automatically then everything is working as it should. If it won't boot, and/or it is not showing up on the list of devices provided by the EFI Boot Manager, then check that the device has an \EFI\Boot directory with bootx64.efi and fallback.efi in it. If all of that is there, then either the USB is 'bad', the port you plugged it into is 'bad' (something in the device path is 'bad') or your EFI implementaton is non-compliant.

     If you do not have any installed OS's on your system...
     Just plug in removable media that meets the criteria for EFI "Default Boot Behavior" and turn it on.
