I was on JP’s Technology Chat with Dale Gribble. He suggested I try to get help here.
Trying to re-boot with Linux on UBS. Dale suggested “You might need to look for a bios option called secure boot and turn it off. Make sure the boot menu is set for USB after that.” I set menu for USB and tried to re-boot. Windows interfered constantly. Now I’m looped in: “Attempted to Boot UEFI Volume from Legacy Mode. To Boot the UEFI Volume Automatically, rather than via F12: - Press any key to reboot the machine. - Enter BIOS Setup, in the Boot Sequence page. - Change the Boot List Option setting from Legacy to UEFI - Save changes and exit.” I come back to the same loop written above if I do anything.
Dell Latitude, 2014. Reg Model: has foreign writing, then P15G. Reg Type Number: P15G001. IC Class: B ICES-003. That’s all I can find without being able to get into the machine.
Thank you for getting back to me!
I’ll try another USB. The one I’m using is new, never been used. I have Rufus on it. I’ve also tried balenaEtcher with no success. It was during the process of using this that the computer went into the loop after a restart. I never found a way to access Secure Boot to turn it off and did have USB as top priority. At this point I can only turn the laptop off…but will try another USB. I have an external CD drive and can burn to a CD. Might that work better?
