[SOLVED] Asus G750JS - has anyone installed LL on this?

[gold_finger]

I've bought a gaming laptop (has both UEFI & Legacy boot), an Asus G750JS, but am having problems installing LL2.4 properly in legacy boot, with either MBR or GPT partition table set-up. Though the install runs smoothly, on reboot the laptop does not recognize the 250GB SSD (sda) on which the \ partition is installed.  Within the settings, the Boot order only lists the second 1TB SSD drive (sdb), where my \home & swap are installed, but not the 250GB SSD.

Are you dual-booting with Windows?  If so, which version -- Win 8/8.1?

Boot with live LL DVD/USB, open a terminal and enter this command to list the partitions on both drives:

Code:

sudo parted -l

(Command ends with a lowercase letter "L".)

If LL is the only OS installed, did you go into UEFI settings and change the boot mode to Legacy/CSM?  If not, do that and try booting again.  (I'm not talking about picking the boot mode for the DVD/USB.  I'm talking about changing the boot mode for the computer in general.)

If you're dual-booting with Windows, you'll need to change the boot mode of computer to Legacy/CSM each time you want to boot LL.  Or, you can follow that video's instructions to convert the LL install to UEFI mode if you don't want to do that all of the time.
