How to Format a USB to FAT16 on Moblin or Ubuntu NBR

I've had succes with both Windows and Linux iso's using UNetBootin. There are also several tutorials out there on how to use it with a Windows ISO.

This new UEFI boot scheme is very confusing, I know. Fortunately with the latest Lenovo laptops you don't need to disable secure boot, nor do you need to disable fastboot, nor do you need legacy mode. You don't need any of that. At least for Ubuntu 12 and up.

Please put it back. :-)

And follow the instructions on the link provided.

The only thing that excellent answer does not address is how to get to the point of booting from USB stick, on your Lenovo. The trick (I happen to discover this all by myself, simply by noticing an option not available in other instructions sets):

[Shift]+Restart > Use USB Devices > USB Stick
