I need to mention that this pc is new-he just not exsit in HP's site( See my last Question)
I am trying to load a linux live on my PC from USB(Also tried fro DVD), and I stucked with errors.
My notebook came with freedos2.0 and I installed win10 from Disc(!) like I supposed to.. (The win 10 works fine!)
1. Maybe I needed to delete something after the installation?
Know I am seeing that there is 3 partitions that I am not using: HPDOCS , HP_TOOLS, BUILDPART.
2. Maybe one of this partion is cousing the problem to the errors?
3. Maybe the FreeDOS2.0 ??
4. What's is the purpose of the partitions?
*I have another idea about the fact that at the BIOS its written "factory o.s: non-windows"
*And also when I turned Lagcy mode off-the BIOS told me that the HDD mising OS..
Solved! Go to Solution.

As I said, UEFI poses special problems with Linux OSs -- and that includes booting from a USB stick containing a Linux OS.
You need to read through the link I sent you about UEFI and Linux -- and see what needs to be done for your PC to recognize the contents of the USB stick.
I could very well be that the USB stick you have was NOT created with UEFI in mind.
When I use RUFUS (a Windows utility) to create a bootable USB stick, one of the options is whether or not to configure it to work on UEFI-based PCs.

Your PC most likely came with UEFI instead of BIOS, and in that case, it also probably had secure boot enabled, as well.
This is not a Linux support forum, and UEFI poses special problems for Linux distros: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295
If you need help with Linux stuff, you really need to go to the support forums for the Linux distro you are trying to use.
Good Luck

but right now i have a bois...
How I can solve this problem??
I turned off the lagcy boot and the UEFI didnt recognize my SSD and its wrote that there is no OS installed on the hard drive.
So I think that the pc didnt come with UEFI
