I'm trying to boot from a USB-Stick.
The legacy support of USB Mass Storage is enabled, but the devices are not listed in the bios under "*** USB Mass Storage Device Boot Setting ***"
On the other hand the sticks seem to be recognized because they appear in the boot menu under Removable Devices when Lagacy support is active. But when I select it in the boot menu, the following message appears:
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
The PC can boot from a cd or from the internal hard drive, but not from an external usb device.
I have already tried out several sticks and a USB disk. But it is the same with all of them. On another PC I can boot from them without any problems.
I have created the sticks in many different ways. I tried to extract the data manually to the stick and marked the partition with diskpart of windows as active. I also tried to create the sticks with Rufus. But nothing worked.
Edit: I used Windows 10 to create a Ubuntu 18.04.3 (64 bit) stick. With Rufus I tried the following options:
- MBR / BIOS or UEFI
- GPT / UEFI (non CSM)
As filesystem I used "FAT32". I also tried to enable the "Add fixes for old BIOSes" option.
Thanks for your help

The only possible way to activate the boot from a USB drive with F8, it is necessary to activate this memory while it is inserted in the USB connector and entering BIOS configuration in the new menu that appears, mark HDD mode. "Generic USB Flash Disk 0.0 [HDD mode]"
