Fun and games with SONY VAIO PCG-7V1M - Any ideas?

Fucking annoying - Wont boot from USB stick AT ALL!

Bios set to allow external boot and USB top of the boot list - Internal at the bottom... Tried letting it boot, calling up the boot menu and selecting the toshiba USB (That is recognised) and still no joy. Have tried it with 3 different USB sticks, an old one, a new one and one that's a USB that holds an SD card. No luck with any of them - Just boots straight into Windows Vista EVERY TIME !!!

I've tried ubuntu, peppermint, google OS and others. It just REFUSES to boot from USB irregardless of which usb I use, which USB slot I use, or what flavour of OS I try to boot into - Nope - FUCK YOU it says - Im loading windows...

FML....

Balana Etcher. Works fine for everything else and the images work on my Desktop PC and my HP Pavillion laptop - Just the sony that refuses to acknowledge it...

You could try changing boot mode in bios from uefi to legacy.

Unfortunately, its an older very basic bios anyway, and it doesn't have that option. I assume its already legacy by default as uefi is not mentioned anywhere at all. There's really not a lot of functions - Very basic indeed.
