UPDATE--- AS I am retired and have nothing better to do than fool with this thing, I thought I would try DOS , WIN. 3.1 and any of 15 or twenty Linux distros that I have. Folks, if you find a machine that will not fully load an operating system, KEEP TRYING--- this thing accepted windows 7 home...

I bought an old toshiba laptop online to play with, and cannot get it to load an operating system. I have tryed two different hard drives and two different operating systems. It came with a formatted 40 gig toshiba hard drive, and I had a 30 gig spare to try. The unit will load Vista business up...

Nothanks came up with the right solution. I finally ,after the third session of at least an hour talking to asus tech support, got a tech to tell me how to change the boot order. The first tech said for me to take it to a repair shop, that they did not furnish free repair-----"maybe he was just...

None whatsoever--- this is the strangest looking bios that I've ever had the misfortune to come across. The ONLY option is to let windows control your boot. It does NOT even mention booting from cd-dvd or usb.--- It's the wierdest thing Ive ever seen in a computer--- I think I will take the...

My problem is that I cannot access the cd/dvd drive or the usb drive to boot and load any other operating system . This piece of JUNK will only load window 8 . I even called the asus 800 number to ask for help --- THAT was a REAL turn off !!!! They are not even willing to give support on a...

Do you maen to say that I need to pull the hard drive from this asus and install it into a machine that I can control the bios and boot order on to blank the hard drive, then install 7 and then re-install it into the asus?
