I CAn get the boot menu of system but not the system ~ $ inxi -Fxz However lunix mint and ubantu bootable USB are easily recognize by system and can boot from.

I can't even boot using Windows disk provide by. Well if I want to create a bootable hdd external from lunix or Windows what I would require and operating systems is best for this, so far used unemotional, WinUSB and default mint formatter, also used create disk of ubantu non work for me the machine refuse to boot from it and skips to Lunix Mint logo.
