Install New Distro

[bleichtman]

Let me start by saying I love LinuxMint. Being new to Linux I also want to experience other distros. I tried creating bootable usbs but none of them seemto work since I installed mint. I'm on an asus x401a and by bios has been set to boot from usb. When i restart, I'm taken to the grubmenu with the linux mint distro listed, linux mint recovery listed, and system settings listed. No matter what I try Ican't get another distro to load. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to go into your bios and make usb top of the boot list. As the computer starts - before grub, you should see a list of comands - try pressing del or F2 or F8.
Or you may have a boot manager that will allow you to temp boot to a diferent drive.

I found on my system, that, even though I was using a USB flash device, the bios would boot it from "USB-HDD".
