Title: Dual boot Windows 7 Linux Lite blackscreen
Post by: C0nfused on November 12, 2016, 06:50:27 AM
i have a new "used" HP 6475b powerbook with a fresh win 7 home install. i put LL3 on in dual boot [120 Gb LL 200 Gb Win7]. i did see some "message" flash at top left of screen but it was gone too quickly to read. Win7 boots. after it did a CHKDSK then it boot just fine. however, linux will start at the boot menu, and when it starts to load the screen goes blank. no cursor nada, zilch
. there is "some" slight random HDD activity .
