I will try answer to everyone.
So, I have this model:
Asus k501lx-dm045d
Its BIOS has Legacy USB support and it is
Enabled.
"Why install to HDD? Why not just use a
bootable USB as if it were your HDD?"
My service asked me. If I want a repair,
Ihave to bring back to them the notebook
in its original state.
When buoght this notebook it had freedos
operating system.
"RUFUS wouldn't run? Or it ran but didn't
find or write to your USB? Or
your USB wouldn't boot natively? Or the
USB booted but couldn't run?
Or it ran but couldn't install?"
I could make a bootable pendrive by Rufus,
but I could not install the freedos from
it.
I sent my notebook with a formatted HDD.
I hope they will not complaining.
Any way,I really appreciate your help.
Thank you very much!
However,I am still courius how should I install to HDD. smiley
