Not able to start Ubuntu live CD or USB - Satellite A300-13 s

Hello

I hope someone can help me with that. I just got a new A300-13 s pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Premium. I managed to create a recovery DVD (after having had the same hassle of having to use a specific brand of DVD, as mentioned in other posts) and have tested the DVD, which works very well.

My problem is this: I want to dual-boot with Ubuntu 8.10 and so have created a live CD to test that everything works before I realize a complete installation. I rebooted, but the laptop does not see the live CD and boot directly into Windows. I tried both the F12 Boot Manager and change the boot order of the bios via F2. Curiously, when the bios boot order is changed, Windows then can not see the DVD drive (via the computer - I haven't checked other roads on the disk).

I know that the DVD player works when starting, because I can boot to the Windows recovery DVD.

I thought it might be a problem of compatibility of the hard drive, but I can access the contents of the ubuntu CD (when the HARD drive is the first in the bios boot order). I also tried to copy the files on a USB key. The laptop can see the drive when you start, but do not consider the iso as a system valid. I did the checking relevant md5sum and they are all very good. The live CD is also work in another computer.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance - this is starting to get a little nuts.

Have you tried to change the SATA Mode in the BIOS? You may need to put in compatibility/IDE mode.

    Hi Aditya,

    This could be caused by the virus or corrupted system files on the computer.

    Follow the following troubleshooting methods:

    Method 1:

    Download Microsoft Safety Scanner, then scan your computer for viruses and malware then check how it works.

    You can download Microsoft Safety Scanner from the link "scan to Microsoft Security.

    Note:  The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. All data that are infected must be cleaned only by deleting all of the data, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Method 2:

    Run System File Check to fix the corrupted system files and then check how it works.

    See the link "How to use the file system tool Checker to troubleshoot system missing or damaged files on Windows Vista or Windows 7" to run the System File Check.

    Note: It can ask the Windows DVD difficulty and allowing SFC to do more than minor repairs. Could some of the files saved on your computer are deleted when fixing corrupted files.

    If the problem persists, please answer. We would be happy to help you.

  • Not able to download Xbox Live for Xbox account nine following an error 80151103 that says "Xbox Live profiles can be downloaded right now.

    Original title: error 80151103

    This is partly a matter of Xbox Live and a Windows Live ID. I posted my question on Xbox Live support first forums well and I have spoken here.

    During the month, I was not able to download Xbox Live for my Xbox account nine following an 80151103 error that says "Xbox Live profiles cannot be downloaded at this time." I have a ticket with the help of Xbox Live, but they have degenerated my problem as much as they could and told me to come in with ID Windows Live ID. the ID support Windows Live told me to return to Xbox Live and then finally just to post a question here. I need my cloned account, and I know it's the only way. Technicians XBL could not even reproduce my problem using my account. I am about to cancel my subscription to Xbox Live because of how long I've been troubleshooting with support without result.

    Why XBOX Live pass the ball in this way I don't know. This site has nothing to do with and no influence on XBOX Live or GFWL.
    Nothing can be done on the XBOX here accounts because it is a community forum.  Maybe they mean to send you to the monopoly$ oft support?
    What you have said I thought understand that you visited the Games for Windows Live site/pages below, what relevance they would have, if any, to your XBOX account that I don't know.

    "I'm about to cancel my Xbox Live subscription because of how long I went through troubleshooting with support without success."

    I would certainly, but I don't have an XBOX so don't know if you can play without subscription. It's the old rock-anvil routine.

    You must restore your registry to a point in time before that you have disabled the administrator user.  It is not easy if there is any left on the system administrator user.

    One way to do this is to start your computer from a CD rescue-style such as BartPE and UBCD4Win or Linux Livecd such as Knoppix.  You can then follow the steps in the following article from part 2, step 6, using GUI to copy and rename the files rather than orders from command-line specified in article.

  • Not able to start computer to Windows VIsta: error event critical ID 10

    Original title: Critical Error Event ID 10

    Yesterday my office started to show a very serious mistake. The symptoms are:

    * On the Dell splash screen, there are tiny dots blue/purple (hard to tell) on the entire screen.
    * If I allow him to continue to boot normally, it will pass through the screen with the little bar at the bottom of the screen, then it will go black and not change again. I have to make a hard stop.
    * If I hit F2 or F12 (menus on the start sequence), first black screen covered with symbols of the dollar ($) rises. The menu right then there is upward, except that it's full of spelling mistakes, signs and random symbols replacing letters and scattered everywhere.
    * I changed the boot sequence to boot from the optical drive first and booted from the Vista disc came with my computer. The screen "Press any key to start from the CD-ROM or DVD" was also covered with dollar signs. From there on, I was able to get the Startup Repair menu. Nothing could be resolved here.
    I managed to get into Safe Mode and view the event log. The only recurring error event that corresponds to the period is:

    Someone at - it suggestions?

    Yes, funny thing. Computer fixed now, but I don't know why. I've done one or two things in quick succession without trying a boot between them, so something has resolved, but I don't know what.

    The chkdsk says that it remove a bunch of files, so maybe that's her. I cleaned all the dust from inside, so that may have contributed. I also disconnected and then reconnected the graphics card (a big ' ole dedicated NVIDIA one), what could be the fixer as well.
    I'm inclined to think it's the graphics, since, as I mentioned above, my old laptop was showing similar symptoms when its GPU went wrong.
    So yes, the problem is solved. If all goes well at all times. Mods, feel free to close this topic.
  • When I installed oracle 10g am not able to start my application

    Hi all
    Using ATG 9.1 my application works fine, but after I installed oracle 10g my Jboss starts up, but I couldn't run my application?
    This shows that the requested Url is not found...

    Could you please tell me why this happens...

    Thanks in advance...

    Thank you and best regards,
    Sudhakar.

    This happens in oracle 10g for oracle 10g is also used as the default http port 8080.
    And if your application server is running on default 8080 port you ll see this problem.

    To solve this, all you need to do is change the port to some other port number 8080 by default oracle.
    See the link below to change the port.
    http://daust.blogspot.in/2006/01/XE-changing-default-HTTP-port.html

    After changing the port, restart your computer again and you should be able to access your application very well.
