I managed to get ubuntu to work booting from an SD card (since I dont have anything else) using the laptop however I can not get my desktop to boot into the card no matter what i do (it has a media card reader and I have an external one). It just tells me Remove disks and other media press any key to restart. I press any key and it tells me to insert boot media. I've unplugged all hard disks and the dvd drive and it still wont boot into the card, it does not matter if the card is set to lock or not. I've partitioned the drive and formatted it with FAT32 using diskpart.exe. What's weird is that in the laptop during boot, it will tell me to select which OS I want, I dont even need to tell it to boot into the card
I've disabled the sata controller, changed boot orders to everything possible, tried nearly every setting i could find. I can't get it to boot into the card, even though on this laptop i can.
I dont think I have a dvd that I could try making a boot disk from that, however. If that's the only way to get this to work then I'll do that.
This is my last resort to get the system working again! please tell me what's going wrong
