I must apologise if this is a common question, but I have looked everywhere and tried all the usual things, including trying to boot from grub via terminal, to no avail. These are my laptop and system details:
I wrote the verified the iso image to usb using UNetbootin. Mounting it seems to reveal all the required files, i.e. that I have burned the iso image and not just copied the file to usb. The dual boot bios still only gives windows vista and linuxlite from hdd. The USB on this 9 years old Sony Vaio do seem to be working ok, too. As you can probably tell, I am a complete novice, so I would greatly appreciate anyone's assistance.
