Recently I got a new ‘hot rod’ of a laptop from work, which came with many of the latest bells and whistles. One of these newest bells, was a very much updated BIOS, that no longer allowed for Legacy Boot Options. Important for those of us who might want to use something other than Windows on a laptop.
I combed through the BIOS often. Enabling Compatability Mode, and Turning off Secure Boot, and trying both options for Fast Boot. No matter what i did, I was not able to boot from either a USB or a DVD disc. The BIOS would see the drive, but would not let me create a new Boot Install Path. (That is the ASUS BIOS terminology not mine)
Anyway, after 2 days of troubleshooting this, I decided to go old school instead a getg it with the PXE boot options.
One small tweak in the BIOS, and I am off an running……..
