They both have the latest available BIOS installed. I would like to put Debian on them. I have downloaded: debian-8.7.1-i386-xfce-CD-1.iso When I put the ISO on a CD-R, it boots correctly. When I put the ISO on a USB flash drive and boot it: isolinux.bin missing or corrupt The same USB flash drive boots correctly in newer computers. Memtest86+ 5.01 on a USB flash drive boots correctly in the older computers. My conclusion is that the ISO is not compatible with the BIOS in the older computers.
