I have a 4-5 year old HP laptop that I installed Proxmox server software on. I now want to install an O/S on it again, but am unable to boot from a live USB thumb drive.
BIOS vendor: Insyde, revision: F.02
To boot to the USB that the Proxmox installer was on I had to change “secure boot” in BIOS to disabled.
I have tried enabling it again, disabling it, nothing helps.
I read that CSM setting can cause conflicts, but this BIOS does not have any settings to do with CSM.
Another strange twist, after selecting the live USB from boot menu, and failing to boot, the USB drive disappears from the boot options, and when attaching it to a different Windows machine, it is not recognized.
I can attach it to a MacBook and format it.
At present, the laptop is a brick.
Any ideas what I can do to salvage this laptop?
Thanks for any help.
Don’t know if there is a better forum to post this question?
