Nevermind. I was able to boot from USB. There was something wrong with
the USB drive. I was using a 128GB USB 3.0 drive. I tried a lowly 8GB
drive and it worked.

No doubt I'll be back with other questions though ...

Thanks for listening.

Dell Latitude E7470 Install: Selected boot device failed

[Michael B Allen]

I'm trying to boot the latest Fedora Live iso on a brand new Dell and
I'm getting:

  Selected boot device failed

What is the trick to getting this to boot?

I just dd'd the iso on the USB drive. Do I need to make it bootable or
some such?

I updated the BIOS to the latest. I verfied everything works as it
should under Windows. I tried playing with the BIOS settings but stuff
is mostly disabled already. I tried booting in both Legacy and UEFI
modes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm nursing a 5 year old
Toshiba with CentOS 6 and it's time to upgrade. I've been using Linux
as my primary machine since late 90's but it has been so long since I
last installed on a newish laptop I have no idea what the issues are
anymore.

Help!
