Read somewhere to try to format it in windows and try booting it again, worth a shot. Got the plop on cd and booted it, it gave me the menu I needed, yaay! Got ubuntu on USB, tried to boot it, all went fine and suddenly, a freaking kernel panic, the heck is it panicking about?! It's all gonna be fine. To partition the HDD you can use any Partition Manager or from Windows Vista, 7, 8/8.1, use the Disk Manager shrink drive option and next create a new partition. and to boot from it, just make the partition Active. Just mark the UUI box saying: "Now showing all drives (Be carefull)" and all drive letters will appear and be elegible to be used as an OS installer. the "Universal USB installer" can install the Lubuntu installer on a disk partition, with the HDD connected internally as second drive, or attatching it with external USB adapter or enclosure. You can also install any OS from a HDD partition instead.
I use EasyBCD which installs Plop Boot Manager from the Add-Remove Entries BIOS Extension, so I have not learned how to install Plop from the zip file to disk. the trick is knowing which download and from that which part to install on the disk. Your old computer should have a floppy disk drive and Plop can be installed on a floppy disk. Is there any other was to force boot from USB, or if someone knows what's making the unsupported OS problem? Any advice would help. But, I thought to myself, I read its working on WinXP, why isnt it working? Tried doing many things to it, placed it all over the pc and ran it from there, ran in safe mode, etc. Downloaded it, got it onto computer, started InstallToBootMenu.bat and I got an error, Unsupported Operating System. Then I tried to search a bit about other ways to make it boot from USB, found a program named Plop, boot manager. I even tried every option in my bios boot menu and every single one gave the same results, pc just boots to windows. Anyway, trying to boot with that just made it go strait to the windows. As always, I booted my USB with ubuntu and went in computers bios to set the boot device, I saw that it didn't had Removable Disk as an option but it had things like USB-HDD, USB-FDD, etc, or however it was. I am trying to install ubuntu on my old computer, want to make it a server for a few teamspeak servers, it has WinXP on it right now. I had no idea where to put this, but its related to WinXP, so here it is
