[SOLVED] Toshiba Satellite P875-S7200 can't boot from USB stick?

[kharrisma]

Hi Forum Folke,

I have a Toshiba Satellite P875-S7200 that I'm trying to set up as a dual-boot Windows/Linux system (or possibly just switching to Linux altogether). The .iso files for Linux are all too big to fit onto an optical disc, and they recommend use of a USB stick anyway. My problem is that I can't seem to enable "boot from USB" in my BIOS. It does have UEFI BIOS, which I'm not really familiar with (old-style BIOS I know, this stuff, not so much). Am I missing something obvious, or is there some trick I'm not aware of? Anyone here either run into this same problem or managed to do what I'm trying to do? Any input greatly appreciated--- getting really tired of Windows nonsense!!

I'm seeing there's something called Toshiba Hardware setup that you access through windows.

This is the file you run.

HWSetup

The TOSHIBA HWSetup screen may have the following tabs:
❖
Boot Setting—Allows you to change the sequence in which
your computer searches the drives for the operating system

I find this pretty strange.
