Check the settings in your BIOS/firmware to make sure it detects the drive and is set to boot from it. > I think the easiest way would be to re-install the Getnoo from scratch And if it still doesn't work because of a firmware issue, you still have a non-booting system but with no OS installed either. It's better to try and diagnose the problem rather than throwing everything away in the hope that the problem goes with it. -- Neil Bothwick Contentsoftaglinemaysettleduringshipping.
