How to setup Linux on a blank hard disk?

Q. I have a blank Hard disk. I have the installation USB for Linux. When i boot I have two options "strike f1 to continue" and "strike f12 key to setup booting" Tried both and nothing seems to work, help?

A. It sounds like your BIOS settings don't allow you to boot from a USB key drive. Go into your BIOS settings and change the boot order priority and set the USB drive as first, that is if it supports it. Then try again.

If you set the USB key up correctly, it should boot into the linux installer.

Can you load Linux on a USB drive then boot to it on a Windows machine to read all the data?

Q. I was thinking about PC security and it occurred to me that no matter what you do to protect a Windows file system, couldn't you just boot to a USB linux system and then read anything off the hard drive you wanted?

A. That is why passwords for booting are important and not allowing the computer to boot from any other device. And using a password for login is also important.
Although the rule of thumb for security is if someone has physical access to the computer you cannot prevent them owning the computer.
