Mint 18 refuses to boot from USB

Post by vincej »

I have read previous posts on this topic and followed the work flow using pendrive https://www.pendrivelinux.com/using-une ... usb-linux/
I had previously downloaded an iso of Mint 18 / Mate 32 to run on an old HP tablet with an Atom processor.

I have altered the bios to boot from the usb.

I have tried 3 different USB's. I reformated each one to FAT.

When the HP goes to boot, the USB blinks a few times and then the HP skips over it.

Looking into the USB files, I find it curious that 'boot' is a folder.

Anything else I can do ???

Thanks !!
