What kind of BIOS is that? With the latest testing version of the Debian installer, I would think you had the upper hand with the NTSF file system present. Just reformat the whole HD to Ext4 and load up a basic system and grub2. If that doesn't work then you better get a different BIOS or motherboard. Buying a store-bought computer means you've already paid for some OEM windows 8..this was a mistake, sorry dude. Maybe Stan Hoeppner will wade in with a recommendation. If he does you will have come to right place. best wishes nonetheless. -- CK -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
