PC (UEFI BIOS) not recognising bootable USB of Ubuntu to create multiboot environment of Windows 7 + OpenELEC

[k4osro]

I have been struggling to create a UEFI compliant bootable USB of Ubuntu that my PC will recognise and boot from 🙁

My goal is to create a HTPC which can boot into Windows 7 (for PC gaming) or OpenELEC (http://openelec.tv for XBMC)

These are the steps I have followed so far:

1. Installed Windows 7 as UEFI from a USB stick.
2. Downloaded Ubuntu Live 11.04 (64 bit version). I was advised to use this version as I do not intend to install Ubuntu but rather to use GParted to partition my boot drive and install extlinux as my boot manager.
3. Now comes the problem. I have used the following settings shown in the video below to create the Ubuntu Live bootable USB stick but my UEFI motherboard (Asus Z97i) does seem to recognise the stick.

Should I be doing something different? What settings should I be using in my UEFI BIOS to recognise the stick? If anyone has done this before then a guiding hand would be appreciated

Use Ubuntu 14.04 and your problems will dissapear.

Why on earth someone suggest you use a many years old OS that is no longer supported? No chance it will support new hardware and Ubuntu oy has support for UEFI starting with 12.04.

Or optionally enable "legacy boot" in uefi settings but this will render your windows not bootable.
