HELP!

Are you pressing the correct button, to enter the bios?

As to me it sounds like you are not entering the bios. And as stated above, you will not be allowed to install the 64bit version, unless you have a 64bit cpu. Unless you have overridden it.

 

[stormbreaker]

F12 or F1 yes.

 

[Ninja Please!]

If you don't have a x64 compatible processor it won't let you install the x64 version.

I'll go ahead and confirm this as it gave me this message on my dell latitude d600. I then proceeded to download a 32 bit version, on my desktop, then used win7 on it to burn the iso. I then put it in my laptop, and instead of going into bios, I just f12'ed it to get the boot menu options during the start up screen, and booted from cd/dvd drive and there you have it OP.

 

[Paul11]

does it say to hit those keys to enter bios ?

are you hitting them as you boot up ?

 

[stormbreaker]

Yes.

 

[theheyes]

Might be time to take it to the "IT guy" everyone seems to know at least one of.

 

[sven256]

Yes.

There is not reason it should not be entering the bios, as this is prior to booting.


Try plugging in a external ps/2 keyboard in, and using this if the machine allows.

 

[stormbreaker]

I can access the bios.

These guys will help you find a local IT guy.

Please don't really ask them.

Well you need to change your initial boot, to your dvd drive. Then when it says press any key to boot from cd/dvd, press the ANY key <-- vital part.

 

[stormbreaker]

I change to DVD/CD drive but it doesn't say press any key to boot when the 32 bit CD is in.

Did you burn the ISO properly?

Or did you just burn the ISO file? literally?

 

[stormbreaker]

I burnt it to DVD.

 

[asim18]

I burnt it to DVD.

Ok, put the dvd into the PC you're on now.

Right click and open it. Then name some files that you see. Such as autorun, any exe's?

Or is there just one .ISO file on the dvd?

 

[stormbreaker]

64 bit or 32 bit?

 

[sven256]

The 32bit version.

 

[asim18]

You're trying to install 32bit. So I think 32 bit one.

 

[stormbreaker]

Just one ISO file.

 

[Burnsy2023]

Just one ISO file.

There is your problem.
