Try another port, worst case you can always pull the SSD and see if that forces the USB to be detected / to boot(2021-09-01, 05:57)Matt Devo Wrote: https://www.reddit.com/r/chrultrabook/co...his_first/
TLDR:
* boot Linux from USB (ubuntu, eg)
* run my Firmware Utility Script
* install/update UEFI firmware
* reboot
* install Windows from USB
* install Speedfan and set to auto mode, set to run on startup
This is a great guide, but I went out and bought 2 brand new 32gb usb sandisk thumb drives, successfully wrote ubuntu to usb with etcher and there is no option hitting escape to boot to the usb. it boots directly to kodi every time. i've tried 2 usb thumb drives so no idea what i'm doing wrong. thanks
yeah i've tried all 4 ports. no idea what could be wrong. should I try another program other than Etcher to write Ubuntu to the usb? its definitely not detecting the usb unless i'm doing something wrong. there is no message to hit escape when it boots up before getting to kodi so I assume its not even being detected and even if i hit escape multipe times as soon as I hit power I never see a message about hitting escape.
its been years since I've used this and I can't remember what the normal boot process said
