We can't know what you see if you don't write it, in picky complete detail. Please don't ignore any of the questions assuming we would know your answer - we don't.<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Have you written a linux iso to a thumbdrive before and successfully booted it in a machine? If so, did you use the same process you are using this time?</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">"Complete close down and restart" might mean two things. One would be a 'restart' without powering off ("Linux" closes down, but not the machine). The other would be a complete power off operation, then using the power button to restart the machine. Which do you mean, please?</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">As the machine restarts, do you press any keys? Which ones, when, and what do you see before and after you do?<br></div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">That's five questions, and if you give us the answers to all of them, then we can help you without wasting time on misunderstandings. Thanks in advance.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Regards,</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Bret</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div>
