First: I've used the search function. None of the previous discussions on this issue were relevant or helpful. I've tried the recommended and"solved" solutions with no joy.
I have installed the latest iso on a usb.
Using two different usbs, as well as the DVD, CD, and BOOT ONLY iso's with no joy. Downloading the same iso multiuple times to rule out defects, as well as verify checksums. As well as using 3 different methods to write the to the USB's.
The laptop is an Asus G73Sw with Legacy bios. Basic hardware is:
Intel Core i7 2nd Gen 2630QM (2.00 GHz), 8 GB Memory, 500 GB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460.
I simply cannot even get the computer to recognize the the iso and it wont even attempt to boot.
It appears I am sure somewhere a hardware issue, as I am having trouble with any*BSD such as NET, OPEN, FREE, and DragonFLY. None of those will boot either.
Anyone have a suggestion or know off hand if this hardware is incompatible. It's driving me crazy.
