I've installed Ubuntu lots of times on my UEFI computer without any troubles. The last few days, I've been trying to install Debian Jessie on my computer. I do the steps bellow:
- Download the corresponding iso (amd64).
- Create a UEFI bootable USB drive with Rufus.
- With Safe boot, Fast boot and CSM disabled, I boot to the USB drive.
I expect to see something like this:
But what I get is this:
I'm using an Asus PC. GL550JK.
The UEFI version is 205 (from Asus Support website).
Things I've tried:
==================
- Booting with CSM on => Same behaviour. It's not my intention to install debian with CSM on, though.
- Using Wheezy instead of Jessi => Same behaviour.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any thoughts? What else can I try? Do you need more info about anything?
Thanks in advance

If you only have Windows, use USBWriter instead.Dannyps wrote:- Create a UEFI bootable USB drive with Rufus.

If you still have Ubuntu, use:
Code: Select all
# cp debian.iso /dev/sdX
# sync
Replace "debian.iso" with the full name of the ISO image and replace "X" with the drive letter assigned to your USB stick (plug the stick & run `dmesg|tail` or `lsblk` to find this).

Thanks. Using USBWriter worked. I don't understand why, though... Do you have any possible explanation?

Re: Can't boot to installer
I think Rufus attempts to modify the MBR and the Debian ISO uses a GUID partition table so this messes it up...
