windows - How do you create a bootable Linux UEFI USB drive


I am trying to install Fedora 25 along side Windows 10 with UEFI booting enabled and SecureBoot disabled. I am using Rufus but I can't seem to get the Linux Live image to boot when I select the USB drive.


Am I missing something?


Answer



It sounds like your boot settings are not correct.
Steps to take:
1. Research the required BIOS settings for your manufacturer. Secure boot should be disabled but occasionally (like with Asus) there are other settings to adjust.



  1. Consult this link: http://docs.kali.org/downloading/kali-linux-live-usb-install
    I know that it is for Kali but it should work for you. I have not used Rufus before but a lot of those tools do not work right with UEFI. Use the Win32 Disk Imager mentioned in the article and it should correctly install the OS.
