Will all your iso support gpt partiton for uefi. I didn't have ubantu to burn iso in my USB, should I use refus for creating one ?? Why 17.10 64 bit iso from official ubantu website support gpt partition for uefi and 16.04 do not. First I downloaded 17.10 iso, it detected USB in boot. But, shows error like 32bit.uefi not found. So downloaded 16.04 32 bit iso. But, it does not show USB in boot. Why sir ?? I think maybe MBR partition won't show in rdp thinbook. Only GPT shows. And refus show error that 16.04 iso is not gpt uefi bootable. Fix this pls.. I beg you sir ! Pls tell how to boot your iso in rdp. Should I try refus or what ??

Unfortunately, my instructions will only work (or at least be easy to use) if:

Sorry I could not be of more help. Perhaps you can contact a friend who has a Linux machine and is comfortable with Linux? Or a computer club near where you live.
