Verified boot order again, set to USB, and then HDD.
I googled it some and someone suggested disabling 'Data Execution Prevention' and so I did that. However then it went into the Vista load up again but no USB boot. The 1st time it went into some command prompt type script but stated it failed, something about BTX failure but it flashed across so quick I could not verify it or confirm. I went into BIOS, set boot order as follow: 1. I am trying to throw Linux on this machine and since there are no cd bay am trying to do so from a USB. These appear to be old corporate machines as it boots into a VISTA image for some business. Stopped at a random rummage, picked up a HP dc7800 SFF with Intel Core Duo x2, 4GB RAM, 80gb HDD
