Installation • Installing Debian 12.6.0 on non-UEFI compatible PCs

Hello,

Motherboard GIGABYTE GA-EP43-UD3L Rev. 1.1
Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG Version f9 dd. 04/22/2010
Socket LGA 775
Processor Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 2,66 GHz x4 (pc1)
Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 2,9 GHz x 2 (pc2 and pc3)
[..]

According to the user manual [1], at page 47 multiple types of USB devices can be configured:

First/Second/Third Boot Device
Specifies the boot order from the available devices. Use the up or down arrow key to select a
device and press <Enter> to accept. Options are: Floppy, LS120, Hard Disk, CDROM, ZIP,
USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, USB-CDROM, USB-HDD, Legacy LAN, Disabled.

I suppose the USB-HDD is the one you need, but you might try other options in the BIOS for boot configuration. It's worth checking this BIOS configuration, since it is an old BIOS.
