I have the machine that is stuffed here now and another one like it which is still on Win8. I just intercepted the bios on the Win8 one and find that booting from a memory stick (actually it will be an SD Card) is not one of the options available in the boot priority list. It offers boot manager (whatever that is), the hard disk or the DVD rom drive. Will the memory stick option come up if one is inserted?
I am just putting Linux Mint onto a SD Card, am I wasting my time?
