Check the BIOS, disable "secure boot" if enabled.
Might also need to enable "CMS" as the PC might refuse to boot.
Edit:
Should be CSM, not CMS.

Thanks for your reply. I will try it in the morning. Can you tell me what CMS is?

CSM, Compatibility Support Module, which helps newer bios's boot older styles of OSs.
