Cannot install lite on SSD - fundurobob - 04-11-2018
Hi all
I'm trying to revive a Fujitsu Amilo 1705 with an 120gb SSD and installing 'Lite' 3.6.
So far, I can get Lite to display the initial pages in 'safe' mode but it will not load onto the SSD.
From (my) memory it displays a panel with various tabs for internet, installing software et al. I couldn't get it to do anything else, so I figured the only way forward seemed to go for the desktop option to install on a hard drive - which didn't work as it couldn't see the SSD.
SSD has been formatted NTFS and given a E: label since I had to do this on my main W10 (urghh!) and I'm wary of confusing and crashing it so rather than give it an c: - I settled on E;. It is the only drive on the Fujitsu.
I did use MBR as it seemed in sync with an old computer.
If it is a NTFS problem I'm not sure what to change it too or how to. I'm using Western digital data lifeguard diagnostics.
Any thoughts?

Couple things...
If you're trying to dual boot with W10 make sure Fast Startup is disabled. (https://www.windowscentral.com/how-disable-windows-10-fast-startup)
Then if UEFI (bios) and Secureboot is set to Legacy/disabled
The above items need to be set accordingly in order to install...
The install guide if you haven't yet:
https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/install.html#installguide
Short and skinny. Once the Installer launches you'll partition a portion of the drive and/or format. Choose what you created for E, if this is where you want LL installed; it won't be listed as E.
You'll format as EXT4 and label "/"
Good Luck and Welcome

Thanks for your reply.
I am only installing Lite on the Fujitsu.
