I am hoping someone can help me
I have an Asus Eee PC netbook which, between being nagged by Microsoft into a failed Windows 10 upgrade and then being abandoned by Asus, had no OS or desktop - the device was essentially dead. I ran 'Darik's Boot and Nuke' overnight which wiped the entire hard drive of everything, that got me a functioning machine - I burned Linux Lite onto a DVD using another computer, plugged in a USB DVD player into the netbook and quickly installed Linux Lite. I moved flawlessly onto the internet for updates, optional software etc and was really happy
However, when I restart it keeps asking me to plug in bootable media and hit any key. The boot up settings in BIOS are the hard drive first then the USB port. If I plug in the DVD drive 'bootable media' it reinstalls the Linux Lite from the start. So at the moment it only works until I switch the netbook off, then I have to start over
It seems that the Linux Lite has, somehow, not become bootable from the HDD ... any ideas ? I am certain I have done something wrong somewhere but have no clue on how to progress
