Do not just jump in. Ask for permission. This signals respect for the group. The Devil-s Advocate
However, research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology suggests that uninvited contrarianism is often perceived as a sign of low intelligence and low social skill. If you constantly play Devil’s Advocate without being asked, you stop looking like a critical thinker and start looking like a roadblock. The following report analyzes The Devil's Advocate (1997),
★★★☆☆ (3/4)
: Kevin increasingly ignores his moral compass to win cases, including representing clients he knows are guilty. The Antagonist : The firm's charismatic leader, John Milton Ask for permission
If you’re going to step into these shoes, there’s a right way and a wrong way to do it. Done poorly, you just look like a "contrarian" or a "hater."

It could be so simple. Always ask your wife first.
Has been working fine for me for almost 25 years now. ;)
one ntfs partition on usb key in uefi boot (with or without SecureBoot) isn’t fully supported. use fat32, rufus make it.
Thank you! After watching countless videos and reading many how to articles I stumbled on yours. I simply changed the 3.0 setting to auto from enabled and my operating system loaded right away.
Where is said 3.0 setting?
Thank you. Nearly blew my brains out thinking I couldn’t boot from USB anymore
You saved me, this is very valuable information. Thank you!!
I was having the same problem on windows 10, and I believe it was because of how I’d formatted my USB stick. Originally I had just created a partition as FAT and was able to load many different ISOs onto the device. Then I made a mistake and had to re-format(?) the whole device, which included re-making the file/partition table. Originally I just chose the default “Scheme”, “GUID Partition Map”. From this point on I was having trouble. I had a hunch that it might require the “Master Boot Record” scheme, so I erased the whole USB stick again with that setting. Then when I ran unetbootin again it worked without issue.
I was having the issue of my USB stick not being detected by BIOS, i solved it by using the latest version of Rufus 3.13 instead of using the old one 3.8 version.
Thank you so much. It really was USB 3…
USB2 flash drive made no difference for me.
My problem was the USB 3.0
Just plugged him in a 2.0 input and it worked. Thank you so much!
For older laptops with both 3.0 and 2.0 USB, try putting the 3.0 USB stick into the 2.0.
Switching from USB 3 to 2 saved my sanity. Thanks!
I switched ports and this made it work – I was using a 3.2 usb and apparently the side port on my laptop wasn’t working
Thanks, my old computer can only find usb drive from cold boot, and it is a usb 3 in usb 2 port, or you have to plug it into usb port when computer is booting right after memory checking; otherwise the computer won’t find this usb3 drive.
Great post, Helge! I tried all the steps you mentioned and finally got my USB drive to show up in the BIOS. Your clear instructions made the process so much easier. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this informative post, Helge! I was struggling with my USB drive not appearing in the BIOS, and your troubleshooting steps helped me pinpoint the issue. It’s good to know about the USB formatting and BIOS settings—I’ll definitely keep those in mind for future setups. Appreciate your insights!
