operating system not found on hp elitebook 2560p (bootable usb)

[remio050]

Hello, 

I'm having problems installing ubuntu 16.04 on my hp elitebook 2560p. The problem is that when I am trying to startup the laptop with the usb, it says: operating system not found. I have no idea how I can fix this and tried to use the usb on an other computer where it did work! But i want it on my hp laptop but don't know how to.  The error message shows when I press F9 to boot options and click the usb. I hope someone can help me!

Thanks,

Rem

Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

HP only warranties their PCs for usage with the OS that comes preinstalled. IF you replace that or add a different OS, then you assume full responsibility for maintaining that other OS -- as HP then provides no assistance on that.

Win8 PCs nearly all use UEFI and that poses special problems for installing Linux distros: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295

Your best bet for Linux support, since HP does not provide Linux drivers, is to contact the support forum for the Linux distro you are trying to install -- in this case, the Ubuntu Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/

Good Luck

Ye maybe I can contact them but i thought it maybe was a problem with the computer since my other computer can see and make the bootable usb work.
