Hi Freinds,

I have an acer 5745 running ubuntu, I tried loading bsd. chose autoformat it formatted the whole disk. but on reboot it is stuck at bios splash screen.

It refuses to boot further or even go to the bios set up when i press F2. Any advice to salvage from this situation will be very helpful.

thanks,
OPen

BSD can not block BIOS setup. Are you sure that F2 is right key?

Does machine boot up from LiveCD? If yes then boot up from Ubuntu LiveCD, open Terminal and execute sudo fdisk -l command. Post output here.

Code:

sudo fdisk -l

thanks

it does not get beyond the bios splash screen. F2 is the button for set up indicated in splash screen...It does not go beyonf bios splash so live boot cd wont help...

i guess i need to flash bios ? not sure how to do it though with acer 5745.. :-(

.

stuck....Please advice

thanks,
