If I selected GPT/UEFI scheme for writing to the USB, and then try to use that USB to boot by first putting my firmware in EFI mode, my laptop just hangs as soon as I exit "BIOS/EFI" and try to start booting from the USB. I actually tried Rufus as well, using GPT/UEFI scheme option for reformatting and writing the image to the USB with the same results. Only when I reformatted the USB using CSM and modified my laptop's "BIOS/EFI" settings to boot in CSM/legacy mode was I able to boot from USB. | |

If you had to do that then you burned the USB in a wrong way. If you used Rufus (Windows) with the default options then it'll boot in Legacy/BIOS only. You need to select GPT/UEFI. But also you want to install a multi-boot in the same mode, always. And if your system is UEFI then you also want to install all in such mode which, by the way, makes multi-booting a LOT easier. | |
