I reset the BIOS to factory settings, UEFI boot: enabled, Legacy boot: unchecked, secure boot: disabled, legacy boot: enabled. "Change from legacy to UEFI native with out CSM" I think I must do and "disable secure boot w/o UEFI" I believe I did. When I click esc. then f9 for boot options I get:
"
Legacy - Micron_M600_MTFDDAK1TORBF:
Legacy N/W - Intel Corporation:IBACLSLOT00FEv016
PXE - E61 - Media test failure, check cable
"

I made the slackware disk in Rufus. Why can't I boot into it and what is required of the USB memory stick to be bootable? I am confused and not that smart.

I have tried several options from enabling legacy boot and playing around with the UEFI options. I know there is certainly a single or multiple settings in the BIOS of this computer that will allow for a boot into either fedora or slackware. What are these settings?
