USB not showing up in Boot Device Menu for Linux Ubuntu

Installing Zorin OS
1

Hi all,

When I powered on my computer, hit Esc, Delete, F12 and it took me to the Boot Device Menu, my USB was not listed as an option.

I have a Linux and my current OS is Ubuntu. Anyone know a simple fix for this?

Flash it again, use a different stick and verify the hash from the iso :grinning:

brand new flash drive, just flashed it through Popsicle, Popsicle verified the Hash, I also verified it through QuickHash. Do you think that's the issue?

Some motherboards have arcane BIOS settings to allow USBs to boot - you may also want to explore your BIOS settings a bit more to make sure you didn't miss anything. I know it happened on one of my desktops (both Asus mobos) but I can't remember which one (or what I did to make the BIOS allow USB booting).

Did you have the usb stick plugged in before you started bios? My bios does not give me an option for booting from usb if it doesn't see a bootable usb stick plugged in.

I figured it out. The issue was that I was clicking Esc, and it was taking me to the wrong screen. When I clicked F2, it took me to the correct screen.
