Todd , what do the halscope files do ? Are they a test ? All the Bios settings appear to be correct , to allow the Boot from ISO, tried several times with Tommies advice , still no luck.
 

The halscope files are saved from the Halscope oscilloscope app. They are merely a record of the scope settings and signals that were being used at the time it was saved. So for example I have some Halscope files saved for the settings I use for tuning each of the servos on one of my machines. Using them makes opening and configuring Halscope quicker when doing something you might need to do the same again later or after a restart. But they certainly are not needed for running Linuxcnc.

That makes sense , this has Linear Scales for Feedback with Steppers.

Ventoy seems to be detected on BIOS-only systems where the Ubuntu ISO would not work on its own.

Try out Ventoy.

Try out Rufus, with different settings.

I installed Ubuntu on an old, BIOS-only laptop (c. 2011 Dell XPS l702X); Ubuntu only boots if the system partition of Windows 7 is there on the disk.

I strongly recommend leaving about 100GB unallocated during install so you can always install Windows 7 to that 100GB just so it will boot at all.

Note: If Windows is installed using the whole disk, it seems to put everything in a single partition; if you choose a custom install (using only part of the disk), it seems to install the OS to one partition and the boot stuff to another, small partition. You can delete the OS partition, but the boot partition might be necessary.

(Don't ask me why Ubuntu needs the Windows BOOT partition to work on my laptop, it just does.)

There is nothing on the Hard Drive except Ubuntu

I will try that tommorrow , There is no real Identification on the PC, Small Black Box , Has a Motherboard and a Hard drive only.
