I am a data recovery tech.  Data is on a Galaxy Book2 (A5A5-PAHF).  The SSD is still alive, but the data is corrupted.  I need to boot from a USB to use my recovery tools.  I can find the boot menu.  It recognizes the USB, however no matter what boot media (microsoft media, linux, legacy, UEFI) I use it won't boot.  Not many settings in BIOS, but I've tried every combination of settings.

Any ideas?

What happens after you try to boot into your USB? What order have you configured in your BiOS?

It just goes to Windows RE.  I've tried both legacy and UEFI with Secure Boot on and off.  I set the boot order to USB Hard Drive and used F9.  The only thing it will recognize is a Linux distro for ARM64, but it won't finish the boot process.
