Why does grub2-new Debian install do not boot?
EFI is disabled (well as close to disabled as is possible: “legacy” enables, and “legacy first” selected in boot options) in bios setup. EFI dose not work: It would not boot the install media. It may have been enabled during install, but with bios-boot selected from boot menu.
Why is Linux Grub preventing me from booting from USB?
If unetbootin changed the layout of the boot files without also adjusting the configuration of the UEFI bootloader (which might be found at \\EFI\\boot\\bootx64.cfg or \\EFI\\boot\\grub.cfg ), then your boot attempt from the USB media might end up with an UEFI GRUB with no valid configuration.
Is there way to auto detect new grub install?
If you also have an existing installation with grub2, you should be able to use update-grub to auto-detect the new installation, or to add a manual entry that you can insert in one of the 4?_custom files under /etc/grub.d/. Also check that the boot and esp flags have been set on the FAT32-partition that contains the boot loader.
Do you need UNetbootin to boot from USB?
Unetbootin is old software and not necessary when you have a bootable ISO (most are these days). As @jdwolf already commented… You may actually be booting from USB after all. If the system is booting in UEFI mode, there should be an UEFI bootloader at \\EFI\\boot\\bootx64.efi on the USB stick.
Why is my Debian installation not booting in legacy mode?
You seem to be describing a Debian installation made using CSM booting rather than UEFI booting, caused because your Debian installation media was booted in legacy mode instead of UEFI.
Why is Debian not booting in UEFI mode?
While it’s possible to fix this via a rescue boot (e.g. see here ), it usually works out to be simpler just to reinstall Debian by booting installation media in UEFI mode, which may be facilitated by setting the BIOS to disable CSM booting. 1 members found this post helpful.

Is there a way to auto detect a new Debian install?
I had a similar problem with Debian 9, but installed it next to a previous version. If you also have an existing installation with grub2, you should be able to use update-grub to auto-detect the new installation, or to add a manual entry that you can insert in one of the 4?_custom files under /etc/grub.d/.

How to remove GPT default back to MBR in Linux?
GParted did the job for me (tested on Kali Linux USB Live v2.1) just by doing: Delete all partitions first. This should work for most cases. You know you cannot use a MBR when you have partitions larger than 2TB, or for more than 15 partitions.
What happens when I delete GNU Parted partition?
You will still see the same warning about using GNU Parted that you saw before, but you can ignore it this time, as it will go away when you delete the partition. This will give you an MBR partition table system on a blank drive onto which you can reinstall an OS.
