<html><head></head><body>Hello Gerald, I once had a problem with one of my computers that sounds like yours. The BIOS ignored any boot order and always booted the hdd. There was another option available while booting (guess it was F10 or something, just try around), where I could select a boot device and that worked (not the BIOS though!) I still don't know why it ignored the BIOS, but maybe it helps you. Have a wonderful Christmas time and a great start in 2015, Sebastian <div class="gmail_quote">Am 22.

From my Notebook running Xubuntu 12.10 I used UNetbootin to download a bootable Xubuntu 14.10 image on a USB stick. Downloaded and installed on the USB key correctly, at least this is what UNetbootin says. Then on the XP machine I went in the BIOS to change the boot order, setting the USB flash drive first in that boot order. But no matter what, the machine boots on the hard drive, hence XP and not on the USB stick although I see the little blue light of the USB stick clicking a few times at start up. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Gérald </pre></blockquote></div> -- send mails not related to list topic to: sebastian@grmlber.de public-key at: <a href="http://pgp.grmlber.de">pgp.grmlber.de</a></body></html>
