I currently have Ubuntu & Windows in dual-boot. But I find it subtly annoying and because I want to pass the laptop to anyone else, I wanted to delete both and completely reinstall Ubuntu (I have a USB stick with the ISO file).
Have Ubuntu ever installed, but somehow I'm not grad grad. I have already changed the boot order, but there's always the GNU GRUB menu for selecting Windows / Ubuntu.
The following is available in the BIOS settings under Boot Settings:
USB floppy drive
Docking station upgrade bay
Notebook upgrade bay
USB CD-ROM drive
USB Hard Drive
Notebook hard drive
SD card
Notebook Ethernet
Furthermore, I still have the boot device options, where:
- USB Hard Drive Intenso… (this is the stick of which I want to boot, but does not work, even if I select this, then stop in the selection menu as mentioned above)
- Notebook Upgrade Bay
- Notebook Hard Drive
- Notebook Ethernet
What exactly does it need in place one, so he boots from the stick and I can reinstall it, or am I generally doing something wrong?
Try USB hard drive.
Oh, and the ISO is not just copied to the stick, but unpacked with a special program on the stick. Otherwise the computer can't boot from the stick.
Here is z. B. Such a program.
Try in addition all boot options, which start with USB.
Here is a guide for the imager.
You have jtz but not only the ISO file copied to NEN USB or?

I suspect USB hard drive is the right one

You can still keep the existing installation and just delete the partitions used by Windows. A new installation is not mandatory.
I have already changed the boot order, but there's always the GNU GRUB menu for selecting Windows / Ubuntu.
If you have deleted Windows, then it is enough to tell the GRUB that he should make a new query of all installed systems and already Windows has disappeared from the GRUB menu.
grub-mkconfig
grub-setup
What exactly does it need instead of one, so he boots from the stick and I can reinstall it
- USB Hard Drive Intenso… (
that's the stick I want to boot from,
If this, despite selection, does not boot, then that means that he is not bootable. You have probably made a mistake in the generation of the disk.
How exactly did you create the stick?
Why do not you take a DVD for it, that's usually safer.
Did you verify the hash value of the ISO file?
