Well, I burned it, stuck it in, and tried to boot from it at

Have you trawled through the BIOS setup settings? There may be an
option to override the UEFI. The system will complain that this is
'dangerous' but it isn't!

Yup, I think so, I mean I've been into them a dozen times and I haven't
seen anything that looks as helpful as that. When I started trying to do
this, I found a chat forum where someone explained just how difficult it
really is, though I can't find it again now. Probably if I followed his
exact instructions, which involve creating partitions (including a swap
partition specifically for Ubuntu), and, I think, defining start points
as GUIDs or whatever, I could do it.
