Weird boot problem after rescue CD boot fix
Hello.
Just like the title says. I installed linux and grub, which kinda screwed up my windows boot. Long story short, i used rescue CD to do the fixboot => fixmbr => rebuild bcd.
After that i wanted to install linux again, but none of my flash drives are recongnized as being bootable. I tried a dozen times(for real) with 4 different distros, and 4 different writing utilities, but none of them worked. Windows bootable usb gets recognized in boot selection menu, the others don't. This happened only after using rescue CD(i just don't realise how that could have influenced things). I tested the flashdrives on my 2nd PC and they work, so we can be sure the drives are good.
I don't know what settings to change in bios anymore, i tried usb2 legacy enabled / disabled. I tried boot selection as USB hdd,Cd, zip fdd. Usually the usb drives should be recognized under the hdd section, they are not there either. What to do?
P.S. I posted in this section, but i don't know if i am right. Feel free to move the post. Also i posted in 7forums(i use win7) because i think it's a rescueCD generateb problem, i just don't understand it.
