How do you imagine that formatting is not recommended and ‘may damage your drive’?

Secure boot and fast boot both disabled. Doesn’t work.

then something is wrong with your hardware, or with the usb flash drive, or with the flashed image on it

I did try the usb on other computer and it works super normal, must be this hardware.

FYI, ultraISO doesn’t flash images as is as it tries to use its own bootloaders (syslinux) instead when seeing linux live cd/usb
I recommend balenaEtcher or Rufus (in DD mode) to flash the image if you’re on Windows

It’s usullay Microsoft that does this. In UEFI can you see both the hard disk and the ucb?

I used dd. Also the weird thing is that when I mount the USB (when I’m in the OS) can read all the files on it.

Only can see SSD

Check bootable drives in advanced mode

I tried multiple paths in the as added boot options, hell, i even reburned the iso on my usb

I’m going crazy, i just bought this new laptop. My 10 year old think pad bios is so much more consistent and always works. What is this?

Why does uefi exist and must they add and change weird shit?

Mind you, the boot option doesn’t show in itself.

As a last solution, you can boot into a live environment (like endeavour os) and format your hard drive. THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED since you may damage your drive and fail to install anything else on the system. If live environments won’t boot up, you can use the advanced maintenance option from your windows and format everything from a cmd.

It has arch on it

But i wanted to reinstall it because i messed some stuff up

I can boot into arch but it’s messy and slow

Sorry mate

I can’t boot into a live environment, i wish I could.

What a mess, thanks for trying to help though.

Man this reminds me of a quote of richard stallman “i feel so horrible, i can only think about how horrible i feel.”.

Hi guys, I think I’m the only one on the planet with this keyboard model. It does not have the PIPE key. I’ve already tested some combinations, AltGr , shift ctrl and no success. Has anyone ever seen something like this? How to type the PIPE symbol? Alt 124 doesn’t work, it only comes out 124 and in the browser changes the tabs.

I can’t use Arch without PIPE. 😅

numlock on, alt 124

How do you imagine that formatting is not recommended and ‘may damage your drive’?

I tried. Alt 124 (with numlock on). Both with the top numbers and with the bottom numbers (JKU). The result is the same: prints 124.

try this:
xkbcli how-to-type 124

coool

I mean looks pretty “ansi-like” just use US layout and there you have it

Thank you

I’m with english US now, but how can I get the pipe
