Hi Mark,

Are you referring to the YouTube video I sent out about a week ago? It 
wasn't a good video to learn how to 'burn' the .iso file to a USB drive. 
Sorry if that caused confusion.

What program are you using to write the .iso to the USB drive?

Typically Rufus (windows only) will take care of the syslinux files for 
you. Though dd on Linux should have worked as well.

With older motherboards sometimes the USB3.0 ports don't work well with 
booting. Have you tried using a 2.0 port (and drive for that matter)?

It feels like (from what I read) that the fault is probably on how the 
.iso file was 'burned' to the USB drive.

Let us know how this goes for you!
