Have I bricked a PC?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



	I have a DVD with F 33 Live, in the drawer of an oldish machine. 
I can't get it to boot from the DVD.

	It was originally a System 76, which came with Ubuntu. I had to 
get help to switch it to Fedora, but it's been OK till now. (I've been 
doing system upgrades with dnf; but that doesn't work any more.

	The first display on boot says American Megatrends, copyright 
2015.

	This is the machine, discussed here in a thread beginning October 
30, about a transaction test error. The conclusion was that I had 
allocated space badly in F 32, and might as well install F 33 from 
scratch. That's what I'm trying to do.

	I've been running Fedora since it came out; if I can get this 
thing to boot from the live DVD, I ought to be able to install it to the 
hard drive. But the boot options are innumerable -- most of them 
apparently not connected with the BIOS, if there still is one.

	Is there hope? What info do I need to post??
