problems with vista installation.

[jmagee477]

hello all, new to the forum here.

I've been using Ubuntu on all my computers, but for a school project I need to get back to Windows VIsta.

Running 10.10 on my netbook, using the desktop edition though.

I got a Bootable Vista USB sorted, but I'm having a problem installing from it.

I press F2 to enter the boot options and I only have 6 options - 4 Ubuntu options and 2 memory tests.

How do I manage to select to boot from the USB?

Thanks.

Welcome to the forums :-)

Even by pressing the F2 key, you are not gaining access to the Bios menu. The menu that is showing up is Grub menu (Ubuntu bootloader). You need to refer to your manufacturer's documentation to find out your Bios Setup key and then from Bios, you need to select your USB drive as the first boot device.

Mostly that key is either F2, F10 or Del. Or keep a good eye at your Bios screen as soon as the computer starts. Setup key is printed on that Bios logo mostly ;-)
