Was depending on cold or hot reboot at a given time, amongst others. "Funny" thing was of course that while I was testing the GParted live boot from USB, it went wrong (total coincidence) several times whereas with Mageia it booted just ok (but also not every time, I noticed later on). So I just kicked this Asmedia card out of my big tower case and since then everything is smooth like silk (besides this error message above, but I will look at it later, obviously it's only a cosmetic thing). Could also have been the video card but it was not. It's the ATA error message during the boot process which lead me to finally think about it. Should have been thinking about it earlier.

I had only troubles with this card (probably the chipset) at every level, with Windows XP, with my former Asus Board and another chipset too. The second error which was after a while totally stopping the boot process, was due to a shitty and messy Asmedia SATA controller card (PCIe). First error still happening right now (don't know exactly why, maybe because of the mounting of an NTFS partition one suggested, have to dig deeper), is not preventing the boot process. Solution can also be to shortcut the CMOS pins of course, but it's not needed if once is applying the method I just described above.Ģ) Error while booting Linux: This one was quite tricky and again twofold basically. The biggest difference is the option to boot in BIOS (with 'del' or F12 (indirectly) or not at all. The speed difference between Ultra Fast and Fast is almost nothing (at best 1-2 seconds) with my system configuration. If this feature would be a minimum documented somewhere, which is clearly not at all the case (like most of the BIOS settings anyway, be it ASUS, Gigabyte or any other manufacturer who is not givin a damn about it), then it would not be such a hassle.
Thus the BIOS setting for Fast Boot is falling back to "Normal" or "Fast" but not "Ultra Fast". Best of course is to do it just after starting it for instance. The solution was twofold:ġ) No BIOS access anymore because of this (stupid) "ultra fast" boot option in the Gigabyte BIOS: Solution was to cut the AC power while the system was running somehow. Meanwhile I could find the time to sort out what was needed by reading and testing. Thank you very much for the link and your support. Somehow I get the feeling that I can't be the only one with this problem. I assume the problem is not the video adapter (AMD Radeon HD 6450). I also read what was said about checking BIOS settings (SecureBoot not activated) and graphic cards but that did not help neither. Tried with several other boot modes (failsafe, vga etc.) but nothing did the trick. and finally hanging totally after "ata7.00: status: " All are more or less leading to the same error:Īfter the log entry " Assuming drive cache: write through" the system seems to hang for around 30 sec before a bunch of errors are displayed.
#Create gparted live usb iso#
I tried several of the latest GParted iso versions (28.1.1, 28.0.1, 28.0.0, 27.0.0) including the latest beta, for 64 and for 32bit systems. Drawback is that it's by far not the newest version of GParted.
Here I could find the solution to this problem: edit the following file \boot\grub\grub-380.cfg and replace every instance of “isolinux” with “syslinux”. This one was also not straight forward since there is also a bug / mistake in the grub configuration file, which must be edited manually, otherwise it's not booting at all (not finding the linux kernel). I could find a "half solution" by using the latest SystemRescueCD which now is booting perfectly well from the USB stick in the UEFI mode. I'm rather a beginner in the nix world so I simply tried all I could but abandoned on this one now. Seems the problem is really related to the content of the iso. Now whichever GParted Live iso version I tried so far, I could never have it run passed the first UEFI boot menu step. I'd suggest to add this on the website page as Method A (easy, fast and working). After I lost hours trying with Method A, B and so on (Tuxbot, Makeboot.bat and others) finally I found a quick and efficient way with Rufus v.2.12. I've been trying for several hours to have GParted Live booting from USB on my new UEFI board (Z97 Chipset).įirst problem I had to solve was to find a working setup (from Windows) for the USB stick.
