In any case, I don't understand why this could be an issue. I noticed I cannot choose FAT32 as format for the USB, but I can choose "vfat" I don't know what it means to "mark the partition as bootable and esp (efi system partition)" but I'm guessing that's not an issue if I used the "Live USB maker" software. I used GPT partition when creating the live USB. I seem to recall that you need to change something with the password or some such in the BIOS to be able to switch from UEFI to BIOS mode. Once the USB key is a proper UEFI disk, it will show up in F12 boot menu. Also the contents of the partition should be FAT32 file system with a bootloader in EFI/boot directory. In UEFI boot mode you need to have your USB formatted with a GPT partition table and one of the partitions need to be marked as bootable and esp (efi system partition). I'll just have to return the laptop if I cannot even choose a boot option :(ĮDIT: DuckDuckGoing the internet I found this post, where someone says: I just want to install my linux distro but right now it seems impossible as there is absolutely no way to even choose USB as boot option.Īny suggestions are welcome. It doesn't matter if I change the order in the Bios setting or in the Boot menu I enabled (F12 boot menu on Main Bios window), but regardless of which one goes first, I always get thrown to Windows. In Bios setting, under Boot, I have only two options:
However, I'm having a problem I have not read about anywhere else on the Internet.
I have found through some links online about having to enable a boot password and disabling secure boot (which I did), and a post from this same reddit, linking to Ubuntuforums, where it says that pressing Ctrl+S in the main menu enables to change the SATA mode to AHCI.
