Reboot to BIOS (F2 key):
- restore Setup Defaults (some F? key), then SAVE and EXIT to restart
If it did not work,
Reboot to BIOS (F2 key):
- is there anything like Startup menu item ?
If yes, mine has submenus:
Boot (boot priority order; there is Help probably)
1. ATAPI cd/dvd
2. ATA HDD
3. USB cd
4. PCI LAN
...
Network (boot priority order; there is Help probably)
1. PCI LAN
2. ATAPI cd/dvd
3. USB cd
4. ATA HDD
...
Boot Mode Quick, Diagnostics (used for devices testing at boot time !!!)
Boot device List F12 Option Enabled/Disabled (F12 invokes a pop up Boot
device List)
- is there anything like Config menu item ?
...
Serial ATA (SATA)
SATA Controller Mode Option: AHCI (or Compatibility ?)
...
If it did not work,
Try live-cd again (make cd/dvd drive a bootable device with F10 if needed)
Does the live-cd recognize the previously formatted hard disk ?
$ su
# cfdisk
# fdisk -l
Look for hard disk related log lines:
any errors related to hard disk or cd/dvd drives ?
# dmesg | less
# dmesg | grep -i ata
# dmesg | grep -i scsi
- perform hard disk installation once again:
- do NOT accept default installation !!!
- select custom install/layout,
select "/" root mount point (only one partition, that is entire disk),
select above disk/partition to format to ext4 file system,
make sure bootloader to be installed to MBR (usually default),
run installation
Next you may try:
- run hard disk diagnostic utility, if present in BIOS - does it find it ?
- run memory check-up utility, if present in BIOS
- turn off Overclocking, if present
- set to auto detect mode, if present
- anything lese unusual/dangerous to manipulate
