USB Boot Problem

[0____0]

Hello,

I am having trouble with booting from usb.

My pc sees the usb drive and boots from it but then it fails to load the operating system.

I've tried "slax linux", "parted magic", "puppy linux" but all fail to load. I tried my usb stick with different computers and it worked flawlessly.

I've enabled "usb legacy" , disabled "secure boot" and "UEFI" but still cant load the operating systems.

Also i tried both usb 3.0 and usb 2.0 ports and still not working

Anyone knows why?

If the stick is OK the only other common denominator would be the boot software if it's failing to hand over to the OS. Did you use Rufus to create the bootable drive? If not, try it - it's free and hasn't failed me once so far.

thnx but i don't think the problem is in the software. Maybe it is deep in the bios. since it boots from the usb but then i guess somehow it forgets the usb and OS cant be loaded to RAM or any other place.... and i don't know why i'll write my bios specs here in a few...

so here are :

bios version : cp121
build time : 01/19/2017
kbc version : p117
serial number : NL9KTFQG17088ODO
slp 2.1 : disabled


and it says in the top : phoenix secure boot
pch version : d1 stepping
me fw version : 11.6.0.1136

when i try to boot puppy linux it says :
"/bin/sh/: can't access tty; job control turned off

why does it say this ????

you have to disable something in your BIOS if youre trying to install linux , something like secuRom ? safe boot .. UEFI , legacy those are the options you have to tweak with

Agreed. Moving from UEFI to Legacy should do the trick.

Not to be confused with USB Legacy Support which is a different matter but it must be set correctly or it wouldn't boot at all.

it actually varies from asus to msi to gigabyte , also your motherboard's model and generation .. but those are the parameters you have to tweak with in the BIOS settings
