Ixthusdan Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Can you boot into your other os? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stish Posted July 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Yes.. I can boot into Windows. But i want to boot into Linux :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Have you been able to boot into linux before? Is there any hard drive activity when you try to boot linux? Have you done any work on the drive with windows tools recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stish Posted July 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 (edited) I got Linux for a couple of hour ago..So i haven't boot Linux before. It doesent look like it's some hardware activity. And i haven't done something spesial with Windows, right after i installed it, i tryed to boot it. Edited July 14, 2004 by Stish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturnes Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 It may be either that your install was unsuccessful completely or that there is a problem with the bootloader. I take it that you are having trouble booting from fd as well. Is there a 'failsafe' option listed in your bootloader? If so give that a try and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stish Posted July 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Yes i have a "failsafe". I can test it when i come home :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixthusdan Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 I think that the install did not complete. I would re-install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
