A Blu member who used to attend installfests has an older PC. We put fedora

Fedora was one of the first distros to get a certificate. In any case
fedora now core dumps. In truth, I was time constrained, and did not boot
into single user mode .
Question:
The bios recognizes USB HDD but not USB sticks . I still have a few DVD-RW
but I would rather use a USB stick. Is there a way to fool the bios to boot
the USB stick
What I really want to do is recover the data. I was able to boot an old
version of fedora that I happened to have in my ancient DVD collection.

I have an old t400 and it boots usb sticks as USB_HDD per
the boot options. I've been using it as a test bed for
various distros installed via usb stick. If Secure Boot is
enabled you will have to use a modern fedora version to boot
so I would disable it for your purposes. In my bios there is
a separate USB line item that enables usb support in the
bios which if disabled will not allow you to boot from any
usb device.
The t400 is pre UEFI.
