How to boot acer laptop from usb

broken image

But then I press F12 and I only get options: You see that its loading all the hardware, and my usb kingston device is there. Weird thing, when you disable quiet boot, and you boot with usb plugged in, it is listed. Shutdown, boot, quickly put usb in when screen turns on, press f12 Boot computer, leave usb in untill detected in windows, reboot But then encounterd a problem, the usb is not listed in boot menu (f12). I figured just put my linux-usb in and install ubuntu and see if we can still be able to use it a little. Its an acer aspire 3000, this thing still got a floppy drive and makes more noise then my lawnmower.Ĭurrently its still with windowsXP and its not working properly anymore. I am trying to install ubuntu 14.04.5 on an old laptop of a friend.
