Hi all,
I have been trying out several flavors of linux OS lately. Dual booting and have had some fun and learned a lot.
I installed another new version just the other day and all went well. During boot I can choose what OS I want and all works (GRUB).
BUT - next I tried to boot to a USB drive to look at another OS - I hit esc like normal and then F9 like normal. But the familiar black with blue screen listing my boot options - where I would select USB is just not there. It is a blank black screen. Nothing happens. Eventually I have to hit ctrl+alt+del and it reboots and it will boot into the OS selection screen and everything works. I went into bios and confirmed USB boot was enabled. Switched off and back on for good measure. Still nothing. This sounds really weird.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Frank
