Hello,
I would like to install Ubuntu on my computer via a bootable USB stick. I have formatted it in FAT32 and I have tried using various USB burning software as well as method 2 from this tutorial: https://www.commentcamarche.net/informatique/windows/187-creer-une-cle-usb-bootable-de-windows-10/#methode-2-windows-7-vista but nothing works!
When I start the computer (after setting the USB stick as the primary boot device) it shows me this message: DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER.
I have tried all my USB ports but nothing changes.
When I switch back to Windows and plug in my USB stick, I noticed that it had changed name and icon: it is called "Install Ubuntu" with the Ubuntu icon, so I think that the burning worked but the problem lies in the computer's boot process.
I have tried with 2 USB sticks (EMTEC 4 GO and KINGSTON DataTraveler G4 16 GO) but it gives me the same result.
Here is the configuration of my motherboard provided by Everest:
