Got a refund from Curry's after resetting to Factory Settings. Thanks to any one who was thinking about this. The machine seemed to block the loading of any other OS. I expect that there will be more problems like this in the future. I'll stick with old machines or self-build for the time being. http://linuxformat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=107912#107912 tonyw Mon Sep 17, 2012 1:48 pm http://linuxformat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=107912#107912 http://linuxformat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=107879#107879 <br /> Author: <a href='http://linuxformat.com/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=67755'>tonyw</a><br /><br /> Posted: Sat Sep 15, 2012 11:05 am<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Hi, new to posting on this forum.<br /> I purchased an Acer Aspire X1440 as it states that it is compatable with Linux although loaded with Windows7.<br /> I have been trying to load Mint12 from coverdisk154 to dual boot. It loads the Index but hangs when Distribution is selected with a blank screen and top-left flashing cursor.<br /> When trying to load System Rescue Disk it stops at Loading modules ...<br /> The BIOS is P01-A02.<br /> Any help please to get a dual boot. http://linuxformat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=107879#107879 tonyw Sat Sep 15, 2012 11:05 am http://linuxformat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=107879#107879
