I created a bootable USB drive from UNetBootIn for Ubuntu and then set my motherboard, the Biostar in the first system in my signature, to boot first from a removable device. When I reboot the computer with the USB drive plugged in, it will not boot from the drive. Even when I select to manually choose where to boot from, when I choose removable device, I get a message that says that there is no device found, and then the computer boots into Windows. Can anyone help me figure out what the problem may be? Thanks.
