I was leery of changing the BIOS Legacy Support on a HP Stream Notebook 13-c010nr from default setting to when noticing HP alert 'This step may make this PC unbootable' so I thought it may be helpful to elaborate on the steps to get a YUMI v2.0.4.9-created MULTIBOOT USB 2.0 16GB memory stick to boot a Lubuntu 17.04 64-bit Desktop: In all these cases Windows 10 on the laptop's drive (it is actually an IC chip) starts up properly when not choosing the USB stick. So, then the light came on that it is a UEFI issue. Using other methods the following was the only option available and it didn't work:īut with Tuxboot there was now a second option which worked: Something new appeared in the Windows 10 boot menu (Esc > F9 Boot Device Options). I used a program from the same website called UUI (Universal USB Installer) that allows you to install a single OS.ģ) To get Clonezilla Linux to boot I had to install it using a program called Tuxboot, which was recommended by the developer of Clonezilla. Now I see that there is a beta version of a special' UEFI' YUMI, so eventually I will try it to see if I can load any live Linux and fix the problem.Ģ) I decided later that I wanted to install Linux Mint directly on the USB as a full install rather than a live version. It worked with all my other computers, but with the the HP Stream the only Linux operating system that would boot was Ubuntu and its variants (Lubuntu, Linux Mint, Etc.). So just to get the USB to be recognized I set the following in BIOS:ġ) I created a multiboot USB stick with a program called YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer ) with various live versions of various Linuxes, as well as Windows 7, Hirens Boot CD, etc. In my case neither Linux by itself nor the various multiboot USB creators would boot. None of my USB sticks would boot with this laptop, but they worked on my other computers.

I went through a similar problem a year and a half ago when I first got the HP Stream. It indeed looks like a UEFI boot USB drive is what is necessary.
