"the boot fails" what appears on screen? I've used Ubuntu with secured boot enabled in the past just fine, dunno if it supported in the server versions though– athosbr99Commented Jul 9, 2017 at 2:39

1ALL Windows 8 and Windows 10 devices are required by Microsoft, in order to be sold with Windows 8 an Windows 10, to be able to disable Secure Boot. The only exception to this rule was Windows RT, which your device cannot run, so the exception doesn't apply to your device. So the option must be there, if your laptop, even supports Secure Boot. Windows 7 devices sold didn't support the UEFI revision that supported Secure Boot, your laptop appears to have supported Windows XP which means, you don't even have UEFI. Only Windows 8 and Windows 10 devices supported Secure Boot.– RamhoundCommented Jul 9, 2017 at 3:19

1Your inability to boot to the installation USB, likely has nothing to do with Secure Boot, and everything to do with how it was created.– RamhoundCommented Jul 9, 2017 at 3:19

Perhaps, but I have been able to successfully boot from this USB drive on my laptop. I guess I'll call Toshiba support tomorrow.– Hussain KhalilCommented Jul 9, 2017 at 4:48

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
