(Should I select yes? I didn't find any guidance on which to select.) It proceeds to copy ISO files and shows the progress. It then asks me if I want to create a hard disk image for my virtual machine. IT asks me if I want to write n ISO Image mode, I select that.

I select ISO image and point to the image filename: linuxmint-18.1-cinnamon-32bit. It asks for the USB drive location, which is E on my PC. I used Rufus to put the image on the USB. Problem is, I can' t seem to get the bios to recognize and boot from the USB drive.

I have a 64 gig USB drive and tried to put the ISO image on it of the Linux Mint 18.1 OS. But I'd like to be able to boot to linux for going on the internet since XP is no longer supported.

The machine is an older PC with windows XP installed on it. I am trying to create and boot with a Mint Linux 18.1 USB drive. I want to be able to use a USB drive to boot Linux on a machine that currently runs Windows XP. You can use either an external USB HDD enclosure or adapter for both a desktop and a laptop, examples of both are available to view ДЄ cautionary note, many of the above enclosures etc require either 2 USB ports or 1 USB port and an external power outlet meaning care must be taken when choosing the type to use, if you intend purchasing a new laptop many laptops may only have 1 or 2 USB ports which can be problematic if you use any other USB devices.I know this is probably a very well discussed topic, but I've tried everything.

Now i am not sure how to transfer the info from these drives to the new or my other computer.There are a couple of things that will determine how you go about this 1: The type of new computer you buy, a laptop or desktop 2: If you buy a new desktop would you want to open up the computer to fit the additional HDDs and risk voiding any warranty, these are just examples of what needs to be determined and there are other aspects. i have actually decided to buy a new computer.You are welcome, buy a new computer by all means but try getting the old one sorted and keep it as a back up. Other things worth checking include, check for stray screws or bared wires in case of a short, make sure the jumper cap that can be used for clearing the CMOS is not missing and finally try a new or replacement CMOS battery. You will then need to short out the 2 power on pins on the MB header to get the PSU to activate, you can use a small flat bladed screwdriver or a paper clip bent into a U shape, this is perfectly safe if you do not touch anything else, the idea is to see if we can get a BIOS screen if you do you can then add one component at a time until you find the problem component, you must power down and remove the power cord from the wall before adding a component, second suggestion try a known working PSU, third suggestion try and loan an ordinary PCI graphics card (not pci-e) again to try and get a BIOS screen. If you remove all Ram and power up do you get any error beeps?Д«est couple of suggestions I can make would be first remove the MB and do a barebones set-up on a piece of cardboard (make sure it is larger than the MB) only connect the PSU, the GFX card, 1 stick of Ram and the keyboard. Heat over a prolonged period weakens all other components so it is possible that the cause of the heat has now affected one or more of the following MB, CPU, Ram, video card and possibly all of them.Д¬auses oh heat include dust build up, a poor quality PSU, bad wiring and poor case cooling and extraction. Just a cautionary note, if you do use canned compressed air do not upend the can as it is possible for fluid to be emitted.Д®dited by phillpower2, 31 October 2011 - 04:13 AM. Make sure all internal connections are secure and that there are no loose components, write down the psu details (make and model) re-assemble the computer, boot up and see how it goes. If the computer needs cleaning out, first remove the power cord from the wall and open up the case, take anti static precautions before touching anything inside, you can do this by touching a bare metal part of the case, remove the video card, blow out the slot and re-seat the card securely, do the same with the memory sticks, clean all internal fans, if you use canned compressed air do not let any fan spin freely this can damage them, use something like a clean lollipop stick to hold the fan. The dvd/cd drive is making a noise like it is starting and stopping clunk, clunk about a second apartIs it possible that the noise is coming from the HDD as this sounds like the click of death and a failed HDD would prevent the system from booting it would not however prevent you from getting a BIOS screen, do you get a BIOS or Dell splash screen?Д®DIT: How to clean out the inside of your case safely below
