CONVERT OS TO ALIENWARE OS WINDOWS 10
Problem with this is windows 10 requires secure boot on.
CONVERT OS TO ALIENWARE OS INSTALL
Only way to get it to boot and install is turn off secure boot and UEFI and do install. Ive tried to install Kali linux 2016.2 doing the same procedure and trying dd just will not boot.
CONVERT OS TO ALIENWARE OS DRIVER
boot into console and remove the nvidia driver and reboot and graphics will returnĥ. From what im finding.dont try to use the Nvidia / intel /hybrid video card as it seems that "switchayoo" doesnt work and if you try to use the Nvidia install the driver & try to switch to that card mine fails and upon reboot youll have no video at all. every once in a while sound would stop Id reboot but i would not work.I found this workaround,Ĥ. that being said, after the install 2 things didnt work wifi and sound, I found in ubuntu forums and downloded linux-firmware_1.158_all.deb after which sound and networking wifi were working. i found that if you use rufus disk tools in windows to put the ubuntu 16.04 image on usb w/ uefi boot (its an option in rufus ) then boot to usb by hitting f12 you should see the usb / ubuntu image in the boot menu and it will install.Ģ. Īs i do use windows only for gaming.the rest of my time is in linux. What I was trying to do was install ubuntu 16.04 on the second ssd. I bought Alienware 17 R3 in June 2016 with windows 10 w 6700hq with windows 10 and bios setup secure boot / UEFI, It has 2 ssd drives and a 1tb 7200 hard drive, and I had the same issues with installing ubuntu. Used for backups (could put linux here as a last resort). Is there an established method of installing Linux on this rig.ġ TB (old style!) Hitachi hard drive. Is there a way to add another SSD (Samsung 850 pro) and boot from that. I was trying the USB3.0 memory stick as an interim solution. I only use Windows for Games and any thing I absolutly cannot do in Linux.Īs Linux will be my primary OS I would prefer it to be installed on the SSD for performance. I seems a waste to give Windows all the disk (1 terra byte) when I spend 75% of my time in Linux. I also tried shrinking the windows partition of the PCIe SSD but when I booted Mint from the USB 2 live image the PCIe SSD did not show up in GParted. However when I try to boot from this the 64gig USB3.0 memory stick is not recognised (not listed when I start via f12).ĭoes the BIOS support booting from a USB3.0 device. I can install linux on to a 64gig USB3.0 memory stick. Also continualy states BIOS not found/instaled or OS not found.I can boot (via f12) from a usb 2 memory stick with the latest live version of Linux Mint on.Without making changes to the BIOS boot config Somtimes I am able to get into BIOS configuration 9/10 times I am unable to get in. Result after all efforts thus far my Alienware 7700 will not load OS due to not locating a bootable device. Cleared CMOS by removing all power sources BUT manufacture states revers CMOS polarity by fliping over the battery (i'd rather not do that I have seen what reversing polarity can do to electronics very nasty even with DC power)
Continuasly states Operating system not found or somtimes it will go through> (detecting.)> BIOS not instaled/ OS not found> then it will reboot to bios after I pressed F2Ģ.Somtimes will not load BIOS configuration menu or states BIOS not installed/BIOS not found.ġ.Checked physical connections including ATA hard drive pins and ATA ribon cable no apparent damage.Ģ.Tried both connection ATA ports 1 & 2 the machine has only booted to XP once succesfuly after detecting ATA 100 Hard Drive.ģ.Disabled SCSI HD in BIOS and made sure its looking for an ATA drive.ĥ. Every time during boot phase i see it searching for a bootable device.

Computer crashed a while back every time It would boot into XP pro it would lock up about 5-15 minutes after logon, I tryied recovery console and reinstaling OS but it keeps stating device not found in XP instalation/recovery.
