Trouble booting from USB to install the latest XG Home Edition SW-19.0.1_MR-1-365

Hi all,

I just purchased a new piece of hardware to replace my dying XG Home box.

I downloaded the latest SW-19.0.1_MR-1-365 and burned to USB with RUFUS.  I can't seem to boot from it, it just hangs.

The device in question is here:

Could it be that the chipset is incompatible?  Or perhaps a setting in the AMI BIOS?

I have :

Disabled secure Boot

I tried MBR burn and GPT Burn

Disabling TPM

Nothing seems to allow me to boot

My next test will be to find n external USB drive that I can burn the ISO to.  I am thinking the UEFI boot may be the issue...  However, i can boot a Windows installer no problem on the device.

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Ken

  • Does the BIOS have a setting for Legacy, or Legacy+UEFI boot?

    I had issues attempting to boot from a USB drive as well when installing XG

    The solution is to choose at the boot menu...non-UEFI USB, or "not" the UEFI USB. 

    Put the USB stick into the USB port, boot the PC hit F10 repeatedly (F10 is sometimes the boot menu...it might be F11 too) and a boot menu should pop up. Choose "USB" the legacy one...not UEFI USB.
