BIOS doesn't find bootable USB drive

[asselmanjens]

I'd like to install Ubuntu on my old desktop computer. I followed the Ubuntu tutorial to prepare a bootable USB drive with Rufus with the following settings: http://pc.cd/dJritalK. I configured the BIOS so the USB-HDD is booted first: http://pc.cd/T1GrtalK. However, when I start the desktop with the USB drive inserted, I get the message "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER". Any idea how to fix this?

I had a similar problem like this when installing Windows recently. Either a deffective harddrive or USB stick.

Or simply eitger the instllation files didn't upload onto the USB properly or USB formst is wrong. Give that a shot

Make sure it's the only USB storage device connected. Also, you might need to place the system in boot legacy mode instead of UEFI mode or the other way around.
