Ubuntu :: Cannot Get Computer To Boot Into ANY Operating System?

Feb 19, 2011

I've been using Ubuntu Netbook edition on my Asus eee pc 1005HA, dual-booting with Windows 7.Things have been fine with it for a month or two. However, I've now run into some trouble with Grub2 and the MBR, and I cannot get my computer to boot into ANY operating system. Right now I'm booting from the Ubuntu installation CD to "try Ubuntu" -- it's the only way I can use my computer at all.

I have looked through the forums and googled, and already tried several methods of fixing Grub2, none of which have worked so far. Here's the situation: I wanted to disable / uninstall Grub2, so that the computer would boot as normal into Windows 7, to fix some problems and then reinstall Grub2 later. To do this I just went to the Windows System Repair environment, opened the command prompt, and entered the two commands "bootrec /fixmbr" and "bootrec /fixboot" with the understanding that this would reset the Windows control of booting, and remove Grub2's control. The result was that my computer cannot boot properly at all. No Windows and no Grub2.

So far I've tried to fix this by using the Super Grub Disk to try to use the auto-repair feature, which failed. I've also tried in various ways to reinstall / repair / update Grub by using the Terminal in Ubuntu (through the "try Ubuntu" CD), but so far none of the methods I've found have worked. If anyone could explain or direct me to a step-by-step of how to repair the MBR and install Grub2 from scratch,

Ubuntu Installation :: On No Operating System Computer From USB?

Sep 1, 2011

I have been trying to find an answer for the past 4 hours, and I am stressing out right now. I bought a IBM Thinkcentre Celeron 2.8ghz off ebay, and when I turn it on it had no operating system. It says: "1962: No operating system found. Press F1 to reboot." I press F1, and it just did they same thing. Came up with that message.

Then I searched on the net for some answers on how to install ubuntu onto a computer without an operating system, and they said to enter BIOS menu and boot the ubuntu from the USB. So I turned the comp back on, and I pressed every button on the Computer except F1, and it did nothing. I dont know how to get into the BIOS menu.

Will a Linux operating system lose data during a power failure as does a Windows operating system?

(If yes.) This has not come up before but I'm going to be doing some work I don't want to lose.

Could you either point me to a backup tutorial or give me the quick overview of preserving stuff with Ubuntu?

CentOS 5 :: New Installation - No Operating System Found?

Jan 12, 2010

I'm new at Centos, although I am familiar with Redhat.I have a laptop that has Windows XP installed on it, and I want this to run Centos 5.3 instead.I read some tutorials online, where I found the download "CentOS-5.3-i386-LiveCD". I burned this to a DVD-RW. When I put the disk in my drive and look my my D: Drive it reads: DVD RW Drive (D:) CentOS-5.3-i386-LiveCD.>I am burning with Nero 7 Essentials.I place this in the laptop disk drive, bring up the BIOS, set it to boot from CD, and when I boot it up I get the message "No Operating System Found".I also tried this from another computer, Windows Vista Home Premium, and it skipped the priority boot (which I set to CD) and went right to the hard disk, booting up to Vista like normal.I hope I'm just doing something wrong.. When I go into the DVD, I first of all see a folder labeled "LiveOS" - Then inside -> -osmin - IMG File - 12.0 KB-squashfs - IMG File - 677 MB

Ubuntu :: Computer Hangs At "Loading Operating System" / Solve This?

Aug 9, 2010

I just installed Ubuntu Lucid yesterday, and I'm dual-booting with Windows 7. (They're on separate physical drives if that's relevant.) I've discovered that whenever I restart the computer, it doesn't matter if it's from Windows or Ubuntu or just hitting the reset button, it hangs at "Loading Operating System." If I start it cold, though, it usually works fine. I tried Googling but I couldn't seem to find anybody else with this problem. I'm guessing it's a GRUB problem? Does anybody know how to fix it?

OpenSUSE Install :: Error No Operating System?

Sep 8, 2010

Several months ago I installed Suse on my box...setup a dual boot with Windows XP. By default it booted into Suse. The problem is that the company I work for, not a science company, is VERY windows-centric, so nearly everything I do is in windows. The IT people here periodically reboot the computers which creates a problem for me since I often work remotely and this results in my computer booting into Linux.

So, to fix the problem I went into Suse, opened Yast, and changed the default boot to windows, and restarted.Now it won't boot into anything and not even the boot menu comes up.I get the following message:Error No operating systemIntel(R) Boot Agent GE v1.3.22Copyright (C) 1997-2008, Intel CorporationCLIENT MAC ADDR: 00 1C C0 E2 61 31 GUID: CAB279BC 5BF7 11DE 8A18 0007E9BECBF3PXE-E53: No boot filename receivedPXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.Boot FailurePress any key to continueIf I push any key, the same error repeats. Really, I truly couldn't care less about the stuff I have on the Linux partition; however, the Windows partition has TONS of data and programs I've written that would be an enormous loss.

Debian Installation :: USB Install 'Operating System Not Found'

Jun 7, 2011

I've decided to move to Debian because I have noticed Ubuntu releases getting progressively more unstable.I am following the official Debian installation guide. Just did this with the Debian 6.0 Net install .iso: 4.3.1. Preparing a USB stick using a hybrid CD or DVD image. Debian CD and DVD images can now be written directly a USB stick, which is a very easy way to make a bootable USB stick. Simply choose a CD or DVD image that will fit on your USB stick. See Section 4.1,Official Debian GNU/Linux CD-ROM Sets to get a CD or DVD image.

Alternatively, for very small USB sticks, only a few megabytes in size, you can download the mini.iso image from the netboot directory (at the location mentioned in Section 4.2.1,Where to Find Installation Image).The CD or DVD image you choose should be written directly to the USB stick, overwriting its current contents.

OpenSUSE Install :: Error Loading Operating System?

Apr 24, 2010

I'm trying to install 11.2 Gnome from the live cd on an HP n410c laptop. The install seems to go smoothly until I'm told I must reboot without the cd. I've tried three or four variations of the process and each time I see, "Error Loading Operating System."I've reloaded the live cd and examined /boot/grub/menu.lst. It appears to be correct. It seems like the initial GRub loader isn't found in the MBR.If I run grub-install, the graphical interface comes up then complains, "Because of partitioning, the boot loader cannot be installed properly."

OpenSUSE Install :: Error Loading Operating System On First Reboot?

Jun 29, 2011

Installed 11.4 on a machine with two SATA drives which had previously been running Windows 2003. I deleted the Windows partitions and created a new partition scheme: Swap, root and one additional partition on the first disk, one large partition on the second disk. Install runs fine but upon reboot I get "Error loading operating system". Booting off a Windows floppy and running FDisk shows that the root partition is marked as active.

Install :: Opensuse Not Letting Me Reistall Original Operating System On It / Fix It?

Aug 23, 2011

I recently installed opensuse on my computer due to it contracting a virus and not letting me reistall the original operating system on it. but i know nothing about this program. i have almost everything up to date and working on it. one thing i find strange is when i try to update the flash or java on it that i have to do all this extra stuff to get it to run. i do not know what programs to pull up to type the stuff down thats given in the java installation instructions. the movement of the webpages when scrolling is running slow and videos on ..... do not have as good of quality to it as it did on windows. so im assuming something is out of date or there are settings i need to adjust.
