trouble installing linux

[le_fourniquet]

Hello guys, Been trying for a while to install a linux distro (ementary os) on my laptop. it's an asus x205ta. I wiped the drive with gparted (might be a bad habbit, but I once had a problem with the partition manager in the install process of ubuntu). so now the laptop boots straight to bios and wont reboot to my install drive that I created using unetbootin. Secure Boot is OFF and usb profile manager thing is set to EHCI (instead of XHCI)

 

PLEASE Help Me !

At what exact part are you stuck? Is the installation complete?

     Be sure that using Unetbootin is a supported and recommended way of creating an installation USB as some Linux distro's do not support this.  Past this there is something wrong with your configuration to boot from USB.  Without going through the BIOS myself it's tough for me to determine as every manufacturer and model changes their BIOS.  Try pressing F12 to choose and force boot device to USB.  If you are sure it is booting from the USB device check the distro forum for some advise.  Sometimes you may have to go with an older version of the distro or a custom kernel if you are using old or unsupported hardware.  No clear direction for you but hope this helps.
