Write to stick. Beware of errors with “of=/dev/sdX”; double check again:

**Manjaro Tutorial: BIOS, UEFI, MBR, GPT, GRUB, SED, LUKS
**
tl;dr:

  • All modern motherboards and operating systems support UEFI. Therefore,** there is absolutely no reason to install the operating system in BIOS mode**
    (which is emulated by the Compatibility Support Module of the UEFI).

  • Like UEFI, GPT is supported by all modern motherboards and operating systems. So the choice should be GPT without a doubt.

  • A separate boot partition is not required
    on modern systems.

Attach stick on target system, reboot and select it on UEFI boot menu.
