Gparted live usb shuts computer down windows#
You should reboot, turn off Rapid Start in the BIOS, and then shut down Windows completely, leaving the partition in the clean state. You can also try running the System File Checker to see if Windows corruption isn't the cause of your sleep issues. That means Windows is really in Hibernate mode, rather than switched off, leaving the partition dirty. I've seen that cause some of the issues you are having Select 'Choose what the power buttons do'Ĭlick 'Change settings that are currently unavailable' Try the following steps to see if these help:

Im just not sure about the procedure with the usb install of win 7 and about the drivers. I am seriously thinking of installing win 7 ,
Gparted live usb shuts computer down software#
It's kind of frustrating because i always need to be carefull not to close the lid off.Īny ideas to whats causing this problem ? Is it software or hardware issue? Wikipedia has of course has a good article on Grub, a good place to start to learn about it.īut if you decide to try to get slitaz to work perhaps take totoetsasoeur's advice above and try to slitaz flavor designed for less memory.Whenever im trying to restart it, either manually or because windows updates might have requested itĪlso whenever i close the lid or set it to sleep mode manually i cant seem to be able to recover it, i need to force shut it down by holding the power button and then turn it on again. A good place to start would be to google "grub" or perhaps "Puppy linux grub" and read about it. Or of course you could be stubborn like I usually am and try googling the issue and figuring it out yourself. PuppyLinux has a forum so I would ask there if you decide to keep Puppy and try to fix this problem. I think it is grub anyway so either grub was not installed correctly or maybe not installed at all or it is not configured right. If Puppy is indeed on your hard drive and your machine will not boot from the hard drive I would think that something is wrong with Grub or whatever puppy uses as a master boot loader. I take it you managed to install Puppy but now your machine will not boot up from the hard drive? But you can still boot from the puppy live cd? If that is so can you boot from the livecd and see if your hard drive now has puppy installed and windows gone? Hmm i have no experience with puppy tho I have heard it is a good light weight OS. I can even imagine how poorly windows even win xp or win 2000 runs with only 128M :( Good luck and hope you figure it out, slitaz is a nice distro and perfect for a low power laptop like yours. Honestly tho it is a bit weird, if it booted before from the same CD it should still boot from it. If None of that works can you tell us the error messages or information on the screen when you try to boot from a slitaz CD? I know it scrolls by fast but the last bit of information it shows should reveal at least where in the boot process it failed. If not can your machine boot another distros liveCd? Have you tried that? If cleaning the Cd and burning a new Slitaz Cd does not work, can your machine boot from a usb drive? If so and you have one you can use try making a bootable slitaz usb drive and booting from that. And by the way have you tried cleaning the CD or looking at it closely under bright light to see if it has any scratches or smudges on it? Sometimes that is all it takes. Some Cds will work in one machine but not another due to perhaps a small scratch or even a fingerprint on the CD. I have used many liveCds over the years on multiple machines and have noticed that Cd drives can vary in sensitivity to minor damages to the Cd.

Remember this for when you install slitaz.Īs to the CD problem I would still try to burn another ISO onto a new cd and try that to see if you can boot into slitaz. Anyway your results will differ, look at it closely and you should be able to tell what device represents your windows hard drive or partition. ( For the record /dev/sda1 is a windows recovery partition). from looking at this information I can tell /dev/sda2 is where windows is installed on this machine and that dev/sdb1 is my usb drive. In my case on a netbook it list /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb1.

If in slitaz you open a terminal and type su and then enter your root password and then type the command 'fdisk -l' without the quotes it will list all your drives, partitions and whatnot and you should be able to tell what device is your windows hard drive or partition. Be sure when installing slitaz that you choose your actual hard drive. I usually create a separate partition for home as well as a swap partition twice the size of the amount of RAM my machine has. As I said above I have not installed slitaz but i have installed other linux distros before. I usually do this before i install a linux distro but the slitaz installer has options to allow you to do it during the installation process. Yes you are going to need to format your windows partition which i am presuming is your whole hard drive to a linux file system as well as partition it the way you wish it.
