Hi all,

 

New wrinkle - I have been trying out some other linux OS lately.  Dual booting and have had some fun and learned a lot. 

 

I installed another new version just the other day and all went well.  During boot I can choose what OS I want and all works (GRUB).

BUT - today I tried to boot to a USB drive to look at another OS - I hit esc like normal and then F9 like normal.  But the familiar black with blue screen listing my boot options - where I would select USB is just not there.  It is a blank black screen.  Nothing happens.  Eventually I have to hit ctrl+alt+del and it reboots and it will boot into the OS selection screen and everything works.  I went into bios and confirmed USB boot was enabled.  Switched off and back on for good measure.  Still nothing.   This sounds really weird.

 

Any ideas? 

 

Thanks

TC
