Asus x201e won't boot to any USB
I am trying to install Xubuntu / Ubuntu on my Asus X201E laptop, but I don't even get to the install menu, because the live usb (which I've tried making in LiLi, UNetbootin) doesn't do anything. I don't have any other OS installed and the USB is listed asi Boot Option #1.
AFAIK, the laptop only support EFI.

This is a setting in your bios to boot the usb. Ubuntu works with uefi enabled.

I've tried every possible bios setting, with 'Secured Boot Control' enabled/disabled, 'Fast Boot' enabled/disabled, 'Launch CSM' enabled/disabled and yet none of them worked.

The thing is, that it won't even start the installation, it just jumps right to bios and even if I override, it doesn't do anything.

Yes, I've tried that and it jumped in the bios.

Power the laptop on with USB stick connected already. Some BIOSes don't recognize some USB drives that are connected after power on. And by the way: remember to have Ubuntu USB stick formatted as FAT32 file system, not NTFS. NTFS USB stick will boot, but will also fail to continue shortly after that.
The stick is already there when I boot it up and it is formated as FAT32.
