Dual booting ubuntu 20.04 (acer travelmate p249-g2-m)

Hello I am new here and I hope someone will help me. So I am trying to dual boot ubuntu 20.04 on my laptop (acer travelmate p249-g2-m), I had tried to do it couple of months ago but I didn't have the boot password so I didn't do it. Last week I found my password and now I am trying to dual boot ubuntu. All my efforts have failed, I have tried using GPT partition (UEFI (non CSM)) and MBR as well but none of them work. I am using FAT32 as the file system for my usb, I am using rufus for creating bootable pendrive. I have tried using Legacy (which I had read wasn't the source of problem), but I didn't succeed. I have also tried turning secure boot off ( but ubuntu supports secure boot so that shouldn't have been the problem). The main problem I am having is that my USB neither show up when I press f12 during the boot nor does it shows up in the boot menu. Any help would be absolutely wonderful. Thank you!

Ok I got it working. The problem was with rufuus. I formatted the pendrive to fat32 first using diskpart and then made it into a bootable pendrive with the help of UltraIso.2

My bios is v1.40. Yes the pendrive doesn't appear in boot menu. Also I don't think the problem is with the usb because I have tried it with multiple usbs.egydiocoelho said:What is the version of the bios? Doesn't the usb stick also appear on the boot tab of the bios?0 -
Instead of formatting the usb stick in fat32, try formatting in ntfs.
