Can't boot from USB or Disk.

I have worked on several newer HP machines that will not boot from a Ubuntu USB drive or Ubuntu install disk.

I have changed the boot order in their BiOS/UEFI but still they boot to 8.1 or nothing (Some of the machines are missing HDD).

I even used the boot loader Ubuntu offer from 8.1.

Advice?

If your machines are new, you may need to disable the Secure Boot option from the security options of your BIOS/UEFI; it's a system which prevents unofficial systems from booting.
