    Can't choose partition type ( log / pri) in kali linux 2016.1 (plz help!)

    Hello guys i am begineer in Linux and i had 2 questions that i think (maybe wrong!) they're connected to eachother.
    i wanted to setup a single boot kali Linux so i made a bootable usb via win32 disk imager ( just like the kali site) and i installed
    it ( uefi mode ) exactly the way they say in the kali site ( except type of partition ) after that i reboot but i didn't see any bootloader or anything
    like that it seems there is no operating system .
    My Laptop:
    Sony Vaio laptop
    SSD Drive
    Core i5
    6 GB Ram

    First is it ok i didn't define the type of partitions in kali setup ( primary or logical )?
    cause i can't select the type actually there is no option there.
    Second i can't boot the kali after i installed it what can i do about it?

    is there any relation between 'not booting' and 'not choosing partition' ?
    if it is how can i solve that (because there is no option) ?
    if it isn't what's wrong with the booting part ?

    Have you tried burning an ISO and installing from that? If you followed the install directions on docs.kali.org, you should be fine.

    If you are a beginner in Linux, please note that Kali is not as friendly as other distros (like Debian, Mint, etc). Be prepared to put in a lot of time learning!

  3. did you check your boot order ? maybe The USB is not set on the boot order at all

    to change boot order Restart computer, keep tapping F10 key, press enter key at edit boot option
    if F10 didn't work try F2
