UEFI is a more secure replacement for BIOS; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface. It is so secure that it prevents booting from media with an incorrect 'signature', but can be adjusted to turn off security features so that you can boot from legacy media.

If you wish to use the legacy boot media you have, see Acer's directions for that at http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27045/~/changing-bios-mode-from-uefi-to-legacy. There's more information at http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1875018/change-uefi-legacy-bios.html and http://www.howtogeek.com/175234/how-to-use-an-antivirus-boot-disc-or-usb-drive-to-ensure-your-computer-is-clean/.

However, you can generate UEFI-compatible media with some utilities, such as Macrium Reflect Free, http://support.macrium.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5133, and Kaspersky Lab advertises the 'World’s First Anti-Malware Product for UEFI',http://www.kaspersky.com/about/news/product/2013/kaspersky-lab-presents-worlds-first-anti-valware-product-for-uefi.

Please let me know if this resolves the issue.
