I am trying to install Linux Debian 8.5 (dd'ed it successfully to USB stick) on SD card of Zenbook UX303UA. However, Grub is 1 version. I cannot boot from the USB and there exists no menu option for the fetaure in the ultrabook. I accessed the Bios by pressing esc at the login, since it does not start naturally by USB and does not give me a list boot options. I think the USB is at /dev/sdb1 now so one option is to configure Grub directly. Fig. 1 Bios and Boot, Fig. 2 Bios, USB configuration and Advanced enter image description here enter image description here Iterating GAD3R's proposal --- Disable successfully *Fastboot* in Bios Boot. Fig. 4 After pressing Esc at login when *Fastboot* disabled*, enter image description here Fig. (5-7) are about unsuccessfully setting up boot by USB 1. first rename the option as *USB* or whatever, since just name (Fig. 5) 2. it requires the location of the boot there (Fig. 6) 3. I cannot find any other location than the current USB SSD (Fig. 7) Fig. 5 Renaming as *USB* in Boot , Fig. 6 You cannot Enable Legacy Boot for some reason (Why?), Fig. 7-10 You cannot find right location for new boot option enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here I cannot find a way to boot from USB. 2nd Iteration --- I disable *Secure Boot* in Security > Boot. I enable CSM. I press Esc at the login. I get the list of items to boot from. - My test USB works - My Debian installer does not work so this confirms it is faulty. Problem solved! Hardware: Asus Zenbook UX303UA OS: Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit Linux kernel 4.7 Grub: version 1
