@boreal bloom can you post results for this command in terminal> sudo parted -l

boreal bloom
boreal bloom
pliant jetty
#

Reformat/recreate Ventoy USB and try again

boreal bloom

pliant jetty
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

marsh sleet
#

if so, you likely need to adjust your current BIOS/UEFI setup (hit F7 at that screen shown in the picture) and Disable legacy boot /CSM. Enable boot-style: UEFI

#

if it's not in the F7 Advanced screen, it has to be in a main Boot category somewhere

boreal bloom
marsh sleet
#

ok. what stage are you at?

boreal bloom
marsh sleet
#

so hang on.. what is on the computer right now? any operating system at all?

#

@boreal bloom

boreal bloom
pliant jetty
marsh sleet
pliant jetty
#

yep

#

But the USB has Ventoy on it

marsh sleet
# boreal bloom Asus

I meant what's on the computer's hard drive ? does it boot up to anything at all?

marsh sleet
boreal bloom
pliant jetty
#

Probably under Security

boreal bloom
#

Secure boot disable
Csm enable
Legacy usb support enabled
Still showing verification error

pliant jetty
#

Dunno why CSM is enabled

marsh sleet
# boreal bloom

this looks better. at least you see the UEFI-mode USB flash drive now

marsh sleet
pliant jetty
#

Weird

marsh sleet
#

oh.. and disable Fast Boot

#

that may cause some checks to be skipped

#

it was in the video

boreal bloom
marsh sleet
#

what did it?

boreal bloom
marsh sleet
#

the fast boot thing and the needing to add device and dsable secure prolly helped for sure

boreal bloom
#

I pressed export secure boot variables and pressed whatever came then went back and ventoy showed

marsh sleet
#

sounds gambly. oh well

#

you should delete all the photos you took off your camera, and take new ones (for your own records) of the way the exact settings are now

boreal bloom
marsh sleet
pliant jetty
#

Well, yeah, Windows installer doesn't know wtf to do with Linux filesystem partitions

#

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo if you don't have any data on there you need to backup, do a big old delete formatty time

marsh sleet
#

@boreal bloom was there Linux installed previously? i take it yes, cuz i saw ubuntu in one of the bootloader options

boreal bloom
marsh sleet
#

no just post here

boreal bloom
marsh sleet
#

that's weird. it shows unallocated and plenty of free space

pliant jetty
#

No partition made?

marsh sleet
#

@boreal bloom can you hit the New button now

#

need to do partition table from there.. make it EFI / GPT

boreal bloom
boreal bloom
pliant jetty
#

partition 3

#

bruh

marsh sleet
#

yeah p3, then Next button

boreal bloom
marsh sleet
#

hit format on that now

#

then it'll give u options.. NTFS n such

#

Gawd windows makes it tough, eh @pliant jetty ?

pliant jetty
#

This is why I haven't used it in over 4 years

boreal bloom
marsh sleet
#

hmmm.. try a reboot

#

n then get back to this step

pliant jetty
#

Might need partition table entirely cleared

marsh sleet
#

have made partition table ✅ have tried to format p3 ❌

pliant jetty
#

God I hate Windows tools so much

boreal bloom
#

Bootable device isn't showing now :/

marsh sleet
#

switch bios back to legacy.. ventoy likely has some legacy loader

boreal bloom
#

Ah i hate this -_-

marsh sleet
#

also if u have a second PC to do this... get this gparted-live-1.5.0-6-amd64.iso from https://gparted.org/download.php and use gparted run from it's live debian desktop environment to do a brand new partition table to that hard drive.

#

as Zebra suggested.

pliant jetty
#

I think you can do it in the Windows CMD prompt also

marsh sleet
#

ah ya

#

im not scholarly on that though

#

but yeah it's a possibility sure

pliant jetty
#

You can find steps on internet easily enough

#

Have done it before

boreal bloom
#

So i can use a second pc to make a bootable usb drive?

#

Will that work here?

marsh sleet
#

no, just use the second pc, to get the gparted-live iso from the 'net, and copy it to ur ventoy drive

boreal bloom
#

But this ventoy drive isn't even showing now

marsh sleet
#

then u have option to boot either to winstaller or parted... and like i said switch bios back to legacy boot

#

or u have to redo ur ventoy stick with gpt partition method from its own installer

#

simplest way i think is go to BIOS setup, leave csm on, boot style legacy

boreal bloom
marsh sleet
# boreal bloom

u see here how boot option 2 says UEFI flash drive? the other mode will be saying JUST the flash drive name

boreal bloom
#

Oh

#

Yeah

marsh sleet
#

i think since the efi files running stuff were on that hard drive now they're gone gone (good thing anyway) hence uefi cant see crap anymore

#

UEFI is like oldskool BIOS where 5% lives on the motherboard chip, and the other 95% lives on a secret hot spicy region of the SSD or hard-drive

boreal bloom
marsh sleet
#

WHereas oldskool legacy Bios was smaller, limited, n just lived in a ROM chip on mobo

marsh sleet
#

u picked hard drive

boreal bloom
#

Ok so tomorrow i will be making another ventoy or rufus usb with another pc and try it

Is that gonna work? @marsh sleet

marsh sleet
#

then copy ur win.iso and ur gparted-live.iso from that link i mentioned above to it.

boreal bloom
#

I think i understand a bit now what you are saying

marsh sleet
#

you'll basically remake ur same stick.. but better 😉

#

and we'll need gparted for sure to do a good redo of the HDD

marsh sleet
marsh sleet
#

There's a reviews tab on that page showing youtube vids of it. (ofc it contains gparted partitioner program)

#

If you wanna get that instead, I recommend the lxpup 19.03 iso as it's solid.
LxPupBionic32-19.03+26.iso

#

-and it's only 294 MB iso download
