If this doesn't work, perhaps some boot parameter is needed (to enter from the boot menu). This will ask for the keymap, language, and video. Then, you can manually run "forcevideo" by giving the command USE BOOT-REPAIR: Launch Boot-Repair, then click the 'Recommended repair. I did this with gparted and it worked like a dream. Also, with this laptop you must choose the uefi and not mbr option. Of course I have to disable the secure boot from within the bios. Boot-Repair will be launched automatically. To do this I make two boot usb thumbdrives: gparted and clonezilla (using rufus.exe to create the thumbdrive image).
Then install Boot-Repair in it, either via PPA for Ubuntu/Mint, or DEBs for Debian. After this, you can use it to fresh install Windows 10 /8/7 or repair computer or system errors via the bootable USB. boot on a Debian (or derivatives: Ubuntu, Linux Mint.) disk, either normal session, or live-CD, or live-USB. Then follow Fix 3, 4 to set up the USB, making it bootable again. This will kill the graphics mode and bring you to the command line. If you are with this issue, the most effective way is to reformat the USB and create a Windows installation USB drive again. You can try the following: press (control)+(alt)+(backspace). I don't know if this black screen is an atempt to go for a wrong graphics mode. I am not 100% sure however if these modes are valid for the wide slim monitors (by the way, laptop computers had always much more compatibility issues that desktop computers). Every VGA/SVGA compatible graphics card is able to use some basic graphics modes. This is valid mostly for the 4:3 graphics hardware, like the CRT monitors and related graphics cards. Launch terminal and use sfdisk to change partition type. Note the location of this new partition mine was /dev/sda2 4. Launch GParted and create a partition out of the 8Mb at the end of the disk (primary partition & unformatted) 3. You can select (1), that is usually much safer option. Boot GParted I used live USB created using unetbootin 2. (1) select some "safe" options, especially VESA and 1024x768 resolution. getting detected but slows down the system gets stuck but on MAC it gets detected but I. (0) leave the system use what it detects.
Normally, you are asked to confirm (or modify) the keymap, the language and the video driver that the operating system will use to lunch X.Įspecially for the video option, there are 3 further options:
