Problem installing lubuntu

**san030536** · December 13th, 2019

Hello,
I am new to Ubuntu and have some problems to install it to my old desktop. I have windows 7 home premium now and I have become to hate windows, in many regards, so the time is come to try linux. I don't wan't to go to windows 10 anyways, it costs money, it's no good I hear and big brother see whatever you do, thats a bad thing.
I hope someone can help me with my problem.

My system:
Windows 7 home premium 64 bit servicepack 1
MS 7597
Athlon II x4 640
8 gram
Samsung SSD 60 systemdisk

I have downloaded Lubuntu 19.10 amd64
I used unetbootin windows 675 to make a bootable USB(FAT32-8G)
In the BIOS I have tried everything, changed the boot sequenses and tried to boot from the USB. No matter what my pc doesn't show the USB. I have checked the USB and the files are there.
I would be grateful if anybody have an idea about what is wrong?
Tnx
San

Did you check the Lubuntu iso file you downloaded against the hashes at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes ?

They MUST be an exact match so if there is any difference you will need to d/l again.

My old system, did not show bootable USB flash drives under any USB setting in bootable devices.
Only by accident did I find that under hard drives was another boot option which was the flash drive.
Check hard drives and see if it has a sub-menu.

Also many SSD need firmware update.
