Hi sohb,
Thank you for considering Sony Community!
Have you tried pressing F10 key instead? But we need to change the boot priority first and make set External/USB drive as the first priority. Let's change this setting and follow these steps:
Acess BIOS setup.
- Turn OFF the unit.
- Press Assist button.
- Select Start BIOS setup.
- Once in BIOS, go to Boot tab.
- Change the Boot Priority and set it to Removable / USB.
- Save the changes and Exit.
Try again to boot again to USB flash drive.
For further assistance regarding your concern, please contact the Sony offices/Sony representative offices nearest to your place of residence in Asia Pacific region http://www.sony-asia.com/countryselector.html?hpid=countryselector:AsiaPacific. Due to proximity, they are in a better position to respond to your questions or concerns.
I hope these help.
Regards,
Vincent
