No， I think you cann't. If the BIOS not support USB, which means there is no "USB driver" in BIOS. So the BIOS don't know how to load data from USB device.

Support for USB devices even though BIOS does not support boot from USB.

I find that I can boot from most computers but some older (between 2001 and 2006) will not boot via USB external hard drive. I'm wondering if this is a possible hdx vs sdx issue since the error I get is:

error: no such device xxxxxxx-4xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.
error: hd1,1 cannot get C/H/S values.
error: you need to load the kernel first.

Press any key to continue...

Using Ubuntu 10.04.1 x86 Kernel 2.6.32-26 and GNU GRUB 1.98-1ubuntu8

Dan.
