I want to install Ubuntu on the Asus X205TA. https://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/ASUS_EeeBook_X205TA/

I created a successful USB Installer (I've tested it on other computers) however I cant seem to get the computer to Boot from USB even manually from BIOS.

I've found the following link but am having trouble following the steps. It opens with "On a freshly installed Ubuntu 14.10 system". But I can't get the installer to even be recognized. https://github.com/lopaka/instructions/blob/master/ubuntu-14.10-install-asus-x205ta.md

Thank you.

My Asus x200 will not boot when secure boot is enabled, but works just fine when secure boot is disabled. UEFI mode otherwise works fine. The other 'gotcha' is that the boot order is not persistent when the usb is removed. The default order of hard disk first is reset, so you might have to play around with that too.

My BIOS is American Megatrends version 203, GOP version 3.0.1023, EC version B14E150001
Don't know anything about bitlocker.
To be more clear: The specific USB needs to be plugged in as the UEFI settings are run and the bootorder changed to put it first. The USB item in the boot order list is pretty specific to the USB, including brand and type. Any boot without that specific USB will remove it from the bootorder.
