Errr, pass, what is that ? I am a dumb refugee from Windows, sorry ! :)
It is a very old HP miniDesktop

You can enter BIOS setup and check, are there some entries concerning UEFI.
TinyCorePure64 iso is hybrid, both legacy and UEFI compatible, but if you will need to install TinyCore at some partition, you need to know exactly what to do, and UEFI persistence makes your way a little longer.
thl04:
No UEFI seen in the bios pages.

Yes confirmed, I have dug out my very old Knoppix cd and a Mint dvd from a few years ago and both run ok, but without persistence.
also,
"Debian Jessie with PIXEL" from RaspberryPi
https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/pixel-pc-mac/
which is persistent, will run from USB.
So I dont know ,,,, :( ,,, what is it that Tinycore needs that they do not ? I am at a loss.
jazzbiker:
It's almost impossible, but you emphasize that PC is very old... What screen resolution you have on your running OSes?
jazzbiker:
As your pc has no UEFI, then you have syslinux boot menu after start. Entries can be edited simply pressing Tab key on selected menu entry. I can propose to choose the last entry (named corew), press Tab to edit it, and delete term "vga=791" in it. Then press Enter to boot.

On win7 I can set up to 1920x1200 but it is hard on my aged eyes so generally leave it at 1600x1200 or thereabouts
and
I have gone into Jessie on my USBstick for this post and it says :-
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ xdpyinfo | grep 'dimensions:'
dimensions: 1024x768 pixels (270x203 millimeters)
the ability to adjust it seems not to be in this PC_desktop_version (which is meant for windows newbies to familiarise themselves before attacking inflicting the hardware ! )
I'll try "vga=791" next
thanks.]
EDIT :- removed vga=791 and I am now back to a screen full of gobbldygook ending with
Kernel panic ,,, not syncing ,,,kill init! ,,, exit code 0x00000009
Rebooting in 60sec.
also waitusb=5,, so I tried editing that to =20 and booting again but no better :(
