Yes, I thought you'd say that. I think you have something odd in your BIOS, which is objecting to (or not recognising) some feature of the various bootable ISOs you put on that stick. Is it a very old BIOS? I remember you did say it was an old machine. You may simply have to accept that some things will boot, others not. -- Regards Peter
