Anyone know how to bbot from USB?
F10 opens the UEFI settings. Check the boot options there, as it is
possible to disable certain devices for boot.
I can get to the menuing system,
but am at a loss as to what to do once I get there.
Does HP document its firmware anywhere?
On other machines, if I work at it,
I get to a list of things from which I might want to boot.
If that is on my laptop, I've yet to find it,
at least this time around.
F39 is on the laptop,
so I must have booted from USB at some point.
I do have plenty of free space available.
Copying F42 onto its own partition or partitions is a possibility.
Once upon a time,
one could boot from a partition that was a live DVD image.
I think one still can,
but the last time I tried it,
it would not install to that hard drive.
It would not even be nice enough to refuse.
It would just pretend the hard drive was not there.
Then check if your USB is working on another machine and test if it can
do an UEFI boot.
I put F38 on an SD card using a USB adapter.
If I pick the right hub, it will boot my HP compaq dc5800.
I have not been able to make it boot my laptop.
