If USB is authorized to boot, try either a mobile usb DVD for install (do NOT use a HUB when installing, do it only and always on a physical usb plug of the mainboard.
Sadly, no USB boot seems to be available. Tried the lastest BIOS (2012, a great year! for wine perhaps)
Some BIOS obfuscate USB booting by equating it to HDD booting. You may have been looking in the wrong places. The ASUS BBS key is F8. Try it at the same time as you would DEL to try to get into BIOS setup. That should give you a boot device menu that includes USB and OM, unless BIOS setup has blocked booting either or both, or neither are available. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
