Found a solution myself:
- Do not use UNetbootin or Ubuntu ImageWriter.
- Use - you guessed it - the terminal.
Follow the respective instructions closely under:"How to make a live USB stick using the terminal".
Or: burn the iso to CD...
Thanks to all who have given it thought...

I'd like to try Nadia.
Am currently running Katya without issues.
Downloaded Nadia 14 MATE 32bit
Checked MD5
Created live-USB startup on USB drive (tried with both UNetbootin and Ubuntu ImageWriter and yes, had to rename .iso to .img on the latter)
Changed boot sequence in BIOS.
Alas, Nadia wont boot.
I'd appreciate any/all smart advice as to what I might have missed
Many thanks in advance!
P.S.
It doesn't look like a hardware issue to me.
It rather appears, as if a file is missing or buggy. However, I just couldn't find what or which exactly.
Perhaps one of the required paths is misspelled, directories or files are misnamed or something like that?
For example:
Autorun.inf reads:
Code: Select all
[autorun]
open=mint4win.exe --force-wubi --cdmenu --skipmd5check
icon=mint4win.exe,0
label=Install Linux Mint
[Content]

VideoFiles=false
md5sum.txt reads:
