Thanks a lot. I’ll attempt to download it even if it could take all day.
Ensure the disk is properly recognized by selecting the correct boot method based on its type. If GPT is detected, use legacy BIOS instead of UEFI. For MBR, choose the appropriate BIOS setting on your ASUS laptop. When installation fails with a GPT error, revert to legacy BIOS booting. After rebooting, navigate to the boot selection menu and pick the UEFI USB option rather than just the USB drive. It's wise to back up your data beforehand and maintain regular backups even without changes.
These are the boot settings. I’m not sure how to switch it to UEFI, but USB legacy support was turned on. If I turn it off, the USB drive doesn’t recognize it. That’s confusing.
The boot selection is set in your BIOS. No changes needed there. A menu appears at startup that lets you bypass the default boot choices. The button to access it is usually F2, F8, or F11—some laptops use F12. It seems ASUS mainly uses F8. Turn on the laptop and press F8 right away. You'll see three options in the example with a Sandisk Cruzer USB drive. Two are under UEFI, one below Legacy BIOS. Selecting the correct option will prevent the GPT error during installation.
