| 1300402 | 2012-09-16 04:26:00 | Go into the Bios and see if you can choose to boot from the USB from there. Done that, the option is there. I set it as my only boot option, save changes, and exit. Instead of booting into the usb stick, it just goes straight to the bios. |

| 1300405 | 2012-09-16 04:50:00 | Additional info as well. I have booted from the same usb drive before, worked fine when I had the win8 rp on it. | Nick G (16709) | ||
| 1300406 | 2012-09-16 05:04:00 | Probably a formatting issue then. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1300407 | 2012-09-16 05:26:00 | Probably a formatting issue then. ahh ok. Does it matter if it is fat32 or nfts when trying to boot from it? |

| 1300409 | 2012-09-16 06:02:00 | Fat32 Thanks for that - I have a hunch it is formatted nfts. I'm in linux at the moment, still getting to grips with it - how do I check what format my flash stick is from here? Cheers |

| 1300410 | 2012-09-16 06:06:00 | Has anybody come across Zorin OS 6 linux. Tried it on a workshop PC that runs Windows 7 or 8 easily -- What a heap of rubbish. Took ages to boot. So changed drives and installed it again. Still the same - waste of 1.3GB download. How slow ?? well, hit the start button, went inside, fired up the Media centre which has far less power, running windows 8, that fully started, walked back out to the workshop and Zorin was still loading. BTW, have run ubuntu 11.04 on the PC and that runs fine, just downloaded 12.04 and thats fine as well. |
