Hi Stentorian,
I see you're looking to turn your old Elitebook into a coding host on Linux. Since the BIOS is basic and USB booting didn’t work, you might want to try installing a Linux distribution like Ubuntu. Check if your laptop supports UEFI and ensure you have the right drivers or a compatible BIOS update. You could also explore booting from a USB with a live Linux environment to test the setup before committing. Let me know if you need help finding the right steps!

Best,
[Your Name]

Consider Windows 10 or remove it entirely. USB issues typically stem from connectivity problems or driver conflicts.

No, you haven't run the bootinstaller software yet.

Remove it entirely, Linux is a much lighter option for the specifications I have. And when the USB fails, it means each time I select it in the boot menu, it immediately jumps to Windows and doesn’t load the Ubuntu installer on the USB.

I misunderstood. I opted for ISOtoUSB instead. It was suggested on a different forum. I'll test it now and check if it functions!
