firenice03,I'm afraid your comment does not helped.However I did research about UEFI since you said itīs like other kind of BIOS. And I find out I have BIOS not UEFI !!!Thatīs why my BIOS donīt have the option to enable legacy bios as I told before, because it IS the legacy BIOS already.About Etcher, are you assuming that is impossible to Balena Etcher fail ?? It's the same that saying all Linux O.S. is fully dependent on a third party software called Balena Etcher! If Balena Etcher fails no one never could be able to use Linux ever. Thatīs insane!It does not help if you go this way and do not check others alternatives how to do that like I was trying to do.
Yep, I saw that Balena Etcher on the manual. This Balena Etcher just donīt work (by the way I almost lost my pendrive doing that!).When I followed Balena Etcher procedure, it simply created an empty USB drive that Windows or the BIOS cannot read.
Yes, I disabled secure boot. It seems I don't have the option to enable legacy boot on my BIOS configuration. But the first boot is set to be my USB! It appears the fabrication name of my USB.However, still Windows 10 is always started and no Linux Lite options is displayed.
Wow, what a bad experience! I almost lost my pen drive! By the way, using Balena Etcher I almost lost my pen drive too.I had to use "Diskpart" from CMD. I used the commands "list disk", "select disk and "Clean". After that I ran Rufus again using the first option. And now at least my pendrive is back live.However I still am not able to install LL, even excluding step 3.I think maybe the problem is the failure on constructing a bootable device, although Rufus said the procedure was concluded successfully.
Moltke,I did the procedure again excluding the step 3 as you mentioned, but it did not worked too.So I tried to use the second option available on the Rufus software (as image DD), since itīs said maybe I can have problems to boot using the first recommended option.But now Windows does not recognize my USB driver anymore!! Did I lost my pendrive? How can I recover my pendrive if Windows does not read it??P.S.: This forum does not allow to attach images (.jpg)? "Allowed file types: txt, log, cfg, conf, err, zip, tar, bz2, tbz2, tgz, html, tar.gz" ?
Yes, I disabled secure boot. It seems I don't have the option to enable legacy boot on my BIOS configuration
The UEFI 2.3.1 Errata C specification (or higher) defines a protocol known as secure boot, which can secure the boot process by preventing the loading of drivers or OS loaders that are not signed with an acceptable digital signature.
Then there is not point to me to send here a screenshot of my BIOS configuration or the model of my PC.
I did NOT boot into Linux Lite. There was a question if the problem was the BIOS that can not do boot from a USB driver or if the problem is anything else. In order to answer that question, I used an other old pendrive USB bootable (with windows boot for example) just to check if the BIOS is able to do boot from an USB device as I configured it for. The BIOS did successfully boot from a USB device, so itīs a proof that my BIOS is correct configured to do that and the problem is anything else than BIOS configuration.
I donīt know if I did it right, but I did that following steps considering we donīt have manual for that:STEP 1: Download ISO using the link from oficial LinuxLite website. -> Status OK. Done!!STEP 2: I used Rufos software in order to create a bootable USB device. -> Status OK. Done!STEP 3: I used "Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.9.0" software to extract the ISO file into the USB device. -> Status OK. Done!STEP 4: I configured the BIOS to do boot from an USB device before start Windows 10 boot. -> Status OK. Done!STEP 5: Boot into Linux Lite from the USB device and click on the icon "install" to start deploying Linux Lite. -> FAIL !!!
