Code: Boot Option #2-> Your USB Device, in BIOS mode
That should give you a graphical screen back, and from there you can tell if there's a problem with the boot process or not.
The Antipodes should be using a Jetway NF9C board, and that is the same motherboard I'm using to run my Snakeoil PC.. Have a check in this wiki and see if your BIOS setup is done like so: Link.

It never gave me the option for that box. Should I try a different ISO boot creator?
I will try and get to it tonight.

You can also try Etcher. That should work well also.

I have tried a couple of USB boot programs and am now getting the following message.

Hi Snoopy8, TBH I'm not sure, I bought it from JB HiFi the other day. I'll check at lunch time.
Does it need to be USB 2?

Does it need to be USB 2? In theory no, but who knows what can happen in the real world? I've only used 4GB and 8GB USB sticks to install.. Can you check what motherboard you're using? Is it the NF9C?
