X121e unable to boot Linux-Ubuntu

I have a thinkpad x121e and tried to install Ubuntu 11.04 (32 & 64 Bit) and 10.04 (32 & 64-Bit) with the same result: installation works perfectly, but afterwards it wouldn't boot and ends to try Boot LAN and after the failure of this attempt showing the message "operating system not found", even if it should be the Ubuntu Linux.

Do you have someone had similar problems and could give me a helping hand fixing this, because I am completely lost and very sad that Ubuntu is my main working OS.

A tip, I had is that after I installed Ubuntu it starts once then is a "bieep" starts and ends "beep" and displaying the message "no operating system".

I am happy to provide more information if necessary.

The solution is not to mess around with partitioning yourself, simply let the installation routine handle everything himself.

To do this, when you switch on the look for a configuration message indicating what key to start typing, F2 and del are commonly used. The message appears for very long and it you miss, you have to restart the computer. In the BIOS, look for a section that contains the boot sequence, change it to CD, save it and let the computer to restart.

    2. the installation sequence is answering the message press any key to boot from the CD, and then press ENTER to set up Windows, press F8 to accept the EULA, delete the partition, press ENTER, type L to confirm delete, type C to create a partition, choose (Quick) format.

  • P70-A-11N satellite: cannot boot Linux from USB flash memory

    Hello

    so far, I found no way to start an on-line system to a bootable USB key with a linux operating system installed.
    It is for sure a bios issue and the choice of preferences. Maybe someone has a solution for this problem!

    It's a P70 - A - 11N Notebook Toshiba

    Thank you very much in advance

    Hello

    I never tested the P70 - A myself, but I'm sure it will be able to boot Linux Live glue.
    Please consider what applies in your case:

    -your computer running Win 8.X (or upgraded from Win8.X to Win10) at the present time? If so, you probably use UEFI and secure boot.
    -you use an able to start with active secure boot Linux dist? End tracks major distributions such as Ubuntu and Fedora (and probably many others!) can start with active secure boot.
    S ' Please keep in mind that victory 8.X can be a bit tricky. Cold boot (power off boot), it normally (it's adjustable in power management, so that it is not written in stone!) the unit will not worry if there are other bootable media from the unit (such as a USB key). Or he'll care for your F12-pressings reach the start menu.
    To get the start menu, you should let Windows start on a connection or a desk. Then select restart.
    The operating system stops and the device will restart. When this happens, you have to be quick and press F12 repeatedly to interrupt the boot process.
    Look at the screen. As soon as TOSHIBA logo appears, press F12 repeatedly.
    You should get the boot menu.

    I hope this helps!

  • FOUR installed at the factory DEFAULT to leave prevents the DUAL BOOT LINUX

    HP laptop: dv7-4173us

    Current hard disk partitions:

    Size (approximate) volume file system status

    (C primary NTFS Partition 444 GB)

    HP_TOOLS (F): 99 MB primary FAT32 Partition

    Recovery (D primary NTFS Partition 21,28 GB)

    Primary SYSTEM NTFS partition 199 MB

    I came across this link:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-performance/Windows-7-disk-management-UTI...

    I want to install linux in dual boot, but the link above from Microsoft, said a MAXIMUM of

    4 PRIMARY partitions is allowed.

    Currently I already have FOUR primary partitions on my laptop HP as factory default PARTITION!

    What is the SYSTEM partition?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-are-system-boot-partitions#1TC=Windows-7

    Excerpts:

    “.... The system partition contains the hardware and the startup folder indicating a computer where to look to start Windows. By default, Windows 7 creates a separate system partition when it is installed from scratch (as opposed to upgrading from a previous version of Windows) on an unpartitioned hard disk. This partition is 100 MB in size. “

    Looks like I need to remove one of the main partition above.

    And it also looks like my choices are:

    HP_TOOLS (F): 99 MB primary FAT32 Partition

    Recovery (D primary NTFS Partition 21,28 GB)

    What are the consequences of the removal of one of the scores of HP.

    I suspect the HP_TOOLS above (F and recovery (D are dependent on each other.))

    I understand, it's likely that I lose the ability to recover and have to reinstall windows directly from CD/DVD.

    But I have TO install Linux in DUAL BOOT.

    What choices do I have?

    Please advice.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for all the help.

    Linux uses a different label than Windows. Windows using C, D, E... drive, but linux uses sda1, sda2, sda3 (sda means the disc and 1,2,3, partition) labels for partitions. The sda2 partition is probably the 100 MB system. Linux also uses different file systems incompatible with NTFS/FAT32 for Windows file systems. The most common are EXT2/3/4 and also swap which is something like a pagefile (pagefile.sys) on Windows. You can delete the partition HP_TOOLS of linux, but if everything works and you do not need more partitions don't do that. There are stored diagnostic utilities. However, you can create a USB key with the same properties as HP_TOOLS partition:

I tried with a CD of Linux for the class, and I'm trying to reset my HP MediaSmart Server old ancestors via a disk recovery and in two attempts, the computer will boot directly from the HARD drive.

    The UEFI boot sequence does not take too kindly to optical drives. It is best to make a USB bootable using Rufus:

    Hello!

    Well, to me it sounds like it's the Linux boot disk isn't working properly if you can start the Toshiba Recovery disk successfully.
    Have you tested the same disk of Linux to another computer or laptop?

    In your case, I would try to burn the Linux disk again and use high quality as Verbatim DVD - R or TDK media.
    Never had any problems with the two manufacturers.
