As the title says, my bootable usb is not showing up in the boot menu for my ThinkPad e14 AMD ryzen 5 7530u , gen 5 I think. I have disabled secure boot in the uefi and disabled fast startup in windows. Am I missing anything ? Note: this is my first time using a uefi bios so I don’t know if there are any other kinks to mess with .
Edit : I contacted lenovo support for the above issue but even they couldn’t find the answer so I guess won’t be using linux for this laptop. But since it’s for uni I guess it’s fine. I will just use WSL
Edit 2: Reinstalled the bios , the usb boots now . Finally slapped opensuse on it and now running it
The first was the ventoy one with mbr which I was fine other machines I have used it before with. It had like endeavour os , opensuse, pop os , linux mint windows 11 etc…
But I also reformatted it with windows 11 from meda creation tool as well to check but that also doesnt work which is the most strangest part
Could MBR be your problem somehow? Maybe it needs to be a GPT table instead.
In the top comment you could see I tried reformatting with gpt as well that was also not working
Could you record a video showing the steps you take to try to boot the USB?
Also, maybe pictures of any BIOS settings. I want to see if I can replicate the problem on my laptop.
