then they are
HDD
CD rom
USB zip
USB HDD
USB FDD

Is that the proper boot order as stated by BIOS? If so, it will boot from HDD. You will need to change the boot order to make USB first.
If not, are you connecting the pendrive through a USB hub?

Hey, try this and reply

USB-HDD should be selected to boot the PD.

dude i have changed the boot order in the main BIOS. but then also its not running.

H

don't change the boot order, try and press F8 while booting, you'll get a dialog asking to select which device to boot into, select your USB drive and you should be able to do so

remove any traces of other OSs and then install Linux

it is bound to work :lol:
