Well, that didn't work either. The first thing I did was check to see if the laptop was set for MBR or GPT. It was already setup using MBR. So I double checked to be sure everything was set for legacy mode in the BIOS and it was. Next, I formatted a 64GB USB flash drive as Win32, then created the bootable stick via the dd command. I got the same, exact result. It boots to the welcome screen, after the 10 second countdown it begins transferring files and the yellow splash screen with the feather appears, then right to the command line errors.
I'm in the process of downloading the latest Linux Mint. Since that's the only thing I've ever run on either of my laptops I figure it's worth a try, just to see if this thing will boot to a live stick loaded with Mint. I guess I'll post results later.
