How to create a bootable flash drive to boot it on a computer without uefi?

There was a bootable USB flash drive with Ubuntu Server, I bought an old PC specifically for testing servers, I wanted to install it, an error came up: "SYSLINUX: No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found" I decided to overwrite the image on the USB flash drive and after that it stopped booting from it at all, although in the boot screen JetFlash is present, I tried to format it under FAT / NTFS and install it through various programs (Universal USB Installer, Unetbooting, rufus) no reaction. What I noticed is that earlier when installing the same Linux on the main one (Modern PC with uefi) in UEFI, the flash drive was displayed with 2 icons, just JetFlash and marked UEFI, and now only UEFI, so I think that maybe it is recorded, only for UEFI and therefore the ancient BIOS does not see it?
PS Sorry if it's written too amateurishly, the first time.

UPD. Solved with Rufus by ticking "Add fixes for older BIOSes"

Maybe someone will need a solution for Mac: https://etcher.io/ most likely works under Linux too. Analogues like UNetbootin do not work for old laptops where there is only BIOS mode!
