I'm really at wits end here.
I have a machine with a hard drive in legacy mode. I want to install Kubuntu 19.04 onto it and be able to boot the Win7 partition on the drive as well.
I'm trying to force a USB stick into legacy mode. I've used gparted on another machine to delete all the partitions on the stick and set the type to "msdos." I then used usb-creator-kde to write the image to the drive. When I plug it into the computer, the BIOS says its a UEFI device.
Documentation on the Internet about converting from UEFI to legacy is sparse. Is there a good howto I can read?
When I try to boot the device, I get a "cannot find /BOOT/EFI" error (note the caps).
The system is an ASUS M32. I got this to work in the past with earlier versions of Ubuntu with everything in legacy mode.
