ARandomOWL Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 I'm not sure what the problem is, but if you need to boot a Linux Live CD or similar, you can setup a temporary TFTP server and boot from LAN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARandomOWL Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) Change your BIOS to boot from network (Enable network boot ROM). Then on another computer, setup a program such as TFTPD. This will serve the files to boot ubuntu without using a disc. You can find guides on the internet, really its as simple as setting a few parameters in TFTPD then getting the right ubuntu files. That's assuming the other PC is running windows. This method can also be called PXE booting. Edit: This is assuming you know the problem, and can correct it with a Live CD I was just giving you a way of booting a live CD in your situation, if you needed to.

the_dude Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) You could just change out the memory if you have any laying around somewhere or just say screw it and find a USB CDROM and do a format and reload.

hardnrg Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Installing XP from a USB stick on an EeePC is much easier than setting up a PXE LAN installation, and much better documented Same goes for booting a live version of a Linux distro from USB... If you were overclocking, removing the battery for a few seconds, then replacing, will remove the overclock... Check the SD reader (if the 901 has one?)

ARandomOWL Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Well in any case, we need to know the problem first. So...what were you doing before this happened? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
