Hey Sorry for the previous mail, mishandling on my side... Brent, your assumptions are right. I even tried the wiki page about the 840 G1 [1] as it is another Elitebook. Not better unfortunately... Marcel : in the easiest way possible with dd. Thereafter all the others possible ways :/ mar77i not wet I have to backup all my data onto my NAS. I'll RAZ my computer & BIOS afterwards. Good to know that the usb key can be a source of error I'll try with another one. Still sounds kinda funny to me because my other computer which is also an HP w/ EFI (Envy17) boot fine with every USB stick. Thanks all for your advices, Tom [1] : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HP_EliteBook_840_G1 ___ Le 2017-12-18 22:28, Mar77i a écrit :

i have a little question, how do you create your install stick? Greets Marcel I'm assuming you tried following this? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_flash_installation_media#BIOS_and_U...

-- brent saner That is an amazing website you have there. I'd almost say demoscene worthy...

Did you make progress with your USB booting? In my experience some firmwares don't play nice with USB booting and need some fiddling around, maybe you'll have to try a different usb stick. I found that perseverance and some effort can make almost anything happen. Setting up a laptop to boot from EFI took me every free minute for about 3 days the first time came across it, but I became notably quicker since.

cheers!
