Title: Problem installing LL on HPprobook 4510s
Post by: ycouvert on October 04, 2023, 02:32:19 AM

Hello ! Trying to install linuxlite on HP4510s probook laptop. Using a live CD the installation runs well but rebooting the error message indicating indicating no disk no boot appears. It seems the bios is "locked" on these laptops. Tried several tips from various linux distributions but nothing worked. Linuxlite operates without a problem from the live cd and even on and usb bootable key but I can't make it run from the hard drive of the laptop. The old windows 7 OS installed on the machine was corrupted so had to eras it... so no OS as I cleaned the disk erasing it before the LL installation. Any solutions/procedures anyone?  Thanks for your help....

Hallo! Die Festplatte mit G-Partet (ist auf der Live CD enthalten) formatieren und partitionieren (mindestens drei Partitionen 
;2 Part. Ext.4 und 1 kleine Part. Swap). Das LL Hilfehandbuch ist zu empfehlen. Der USB Stick läuft vielleicht schneller als die Live CD. Viel Erfolg! K-H.

Thanks for your reply. The problem is with the HP Bios. I have tried several partitions of the hard drive before. HP laptops have this problem (found a solution working with ubuntu installation but it doesn't work with linuxlite) ... Danke sehr
