« on: May 17, 2012, 02:21:16 AM »
Hi to all,
I have serious problems!!!
I have installed PCLinuxOS 2012.02 on this device as sda1(root) and sdsa2(home)
When switched on the system does not get to the grub screen.
I used PCC to set up the partitions.
Any help will be greatfully recieved.
Haveing looked at the ssd problems in the Forum repository does not directly help.

No information provided .....  you might start with the output of

fdisk -l

when run from a livecd.

What happens, and what is displayed?
Is the BIOS set to do a minimal POST ......  if so set it to do a full POST and also that all messages are displayed.

Report more exactly what happens from pressing the power button.

Is the SSD correctly identified in BIOS?

Sorry,
PCLinuxOS 2012.02 shows sda then sdb in PCC.
Windows reported sdb then sda.
I checked the bios boot order and found Windows reported correctly.
Changed the boot order to sda then sdb.
Lo...All functioned correctly.
Thank you for coming back
