Kubuntu 18.04 ISO live USB: BIOS does not "see" it, laptop does not boot it.

[Bas Roufs]

Hello everybody.

At present, I am working at a correctly functioning Lenovo X220 running at
Kubuntu 18.04 LTS amd 64. The laptop has now one SSD of 128 GB at which the
system is running. There is also a HD of 320 GB. Soon, I will replace that
HD and buy this SSD:
KingSpec P3-1TB 2.5 inch SATA SSD

When I will acquire this one, I'll need a bootable usb stick with Kubuntu
18.04. Have tried several times to create it at a "Sandisk Ultra USB 3.0"
with a view to running from there a "live" system, in order to test it.
Have been using mkusb-dus OR startup-disk-creator to put the ISO at the
stick. Have been using mkbus-dus to reconvert the stick to a fat32-mass
storage device.

All those tests seemingly work well, till I try to boot the laptop from the
USB stick, The BIOS does not "see" it -  the laptop does not boot from it.
By trying all this, I try to follow these guidelines:

Can anybody guide me towards some solution?

Yours.

Bas G. Roufs.
