Can't detect my USB
« on: November 17, 2025, 05:37:02 AM »
I have installed TinyCorePlus on a little USB drive, and tried to boot on my PC (VivoBook_ASUSLaptop X515UA_M515UA 1.0), but the USB is not being detected on the boot menu, i think it is because of UEFI, because i tried on another older PC (HP Pavilion dv6000), and it booted.
Is there a way, workaround or step i missed to make this work?

iirc, tinycoreplus is x86 which doesn't work with uefi

The 64bit uefi bootloader will boot x86.

I'd also recommend testing the solution in a fresh session after rebooting, just to make sure the change sticks and isn't being affected by something left over in memory. That has helped me track down a few tricky issues before.
