Frugal install on new laptop (UEFI-BIOS trouble?)

<< < (5/13) > >>

NewUser:
If the BIOS update will fix your trouble you may be able to run the update from FreeDOS. Install FreeDOS on a thumbdrive, put the .exe file there too and boot to FreeDOS.  Sometimes it doesn't work, but most times it does.

I'd say that your problem is right there - until you can use the forum grub2 or syslinux methods to make a tinycorelinux uefi boot device without errors, you are unlikely to be able to boot without errors.

Juanito:
Note also that the CorePure64 iso is dual bios/uefi boot - if your machine can boot from cd/dvd, you can burn the iso and test out the uefi boot from cd/dvd.

Just for my information:
The USB that was created using core2usb.exe and CorePure64.iso did not contain an EFI folder. Does that mean core2usb didn't create a correct CorePure64 dual bios/uefi bootable USB for me?

Juanito:
As far as I know, core2usb is windows utility, which is not supported by tinycore.

I doubt that core2usb will produce a uefi bootable device from the CorePure64 iso.

As mentioned earlier, you could try:

* burning the CorePure64 iso to cd/dvd to test
* create a uefi bootable usb stick using the grub2 or syslinux intructions via the links provided
