Linux mint/ubuntu install from usb onto efi (new) computers

,

Putting Linux Mint/Ubuntu onto a flash drive that will boot with that stupid MS efi stuff (new computers)

With an unzip program, open the iso file for the distribution you are using (must be 64 bit?)

Reformat your flash drive in Fat32

Copy the unzipped iso files into the flash drive

Make the flash drive ‘active’ for booting with Windows 7 command line (linux would be some other command)

diskpart

list disk   –>Note the disk number (probably based on disk size or name)

select disk n

list partition

select partition n

active

The flash drive will now boot in new computers that have efi
