Re: [lug-l] Request help for install

Re: the "legacy" option: yes, I saw that as an option, but I think it may have already been enabled; my friend had to do a lot of finagling to get the USB to show up in the first place.

No, I lack a second computer to try to boot the USB from. I may try formatting the USB and re-loading the software... Is it a problem if Windows complains that the drive needs to be formatted for Windows to read it?

Is there a separate BIOS option to enable "legacy boot"?  I got Mint working on my sister's Win8 laptap and I thought that was a separate option.

Re: disabling the UEFI, I'm pretty sure my friend already did that; I think he had to in order to get the USB drive to even show up as an option in the BIOS. I looked at it myself, and everything marked "Secure Boot" has been turned off. I'm not sure what else I can try disabling without making this computer totally unusable. Thanks, though...

This is what I was going to suggest, but you beat me to it.  Do a search on YouTube for disabling uefi in the bios.  I remember seeing a number of videos just a few weeks ago on this topic.

It’s most likely because your laptop has UEFI and secure boot enabled. If you look through the bios there should be something that you can disable. After that it should be smooth sailing.

Thanks, and have a fantastic day!
