I have three ports on my machine, two of them 3.0, one of them 2.0. When I wrote linux to USB 2.0 sticks they booted whether placed in USB 2.0 or 3.0 ports. When I wrote linux mint to USB 3.0 sticks with unetbootin they would not boot whether placed in USB 3.0 or 2.0 ports. Has anyone had these sort of problems before?
I'll try making another live USB on a USB 2.0 stick later, it might work, if it does I'll know the problem is with the USB 3.0 drives, if it doesn't I'll know something has changed within windows such that unetbootin can no longer properly create a live USB when it is run. It's not my BIOS at fault here, my older linux live USB still boots fine, but neither of the ones I just tried to make will boot. I then tried to boot from it, same problem, it was plugged in, I restarted the system, but it booted straight to windows. I tried again with another USb 3.0 stick (a sandisk 16GB Cruzer force), this took much longer to write (about the same time as USB 2.0 sticks took when I've made them). I then rebooted but the BIOS clearly didn't detect the USB and booted straight into windows. With one of the USBs I used (a sandisk 32GB USB 3.0 Ultra) unetbootin was really fast to write it's stuff to the drive. The only thing different to before was that the USB I was using was a USB 3.0 device, a good quality one, previously I used dirt cheap USB 2.0 one for making live USBs. Used the linux mint iso file I have saved on my computer(Linux mint MATE 17.3 64 bit), gave the USB I was making the same amount of persistence as I have before and clicked through unetbootin's steps. Ok, just tried to make another live linux drive using Unetbootin, did it just the same way I have previously.
