  1. Black Screen on boot (HDD and USB boot)


    I'm trying to repair Packard Bell laptop with Windows 10 which is not mine (No clue what happened before this problem occurred).


    So, on boot, the Packard Bell logo and the loading spinner show and then it goes to "Preparing automatic repair" which lasts for 5-10 seconds and then the black screen (without cursor).

    I installed the Windows 10 ISO on a external HDD and booted from it. Again, the logo and the spinner showed but for a shorter time and then the black screen appears.

    I ensured that the external HDD is the 1st priority in BIOS and also tried to boot directly from it by pressing F12, and I can see that the external HDD works exactly like it's being booted from.


    So I am assuming that the video card is having problems showing what is happening after the "Preparing automatic repair" or after booting from the ISO.


    Any help?


    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Booting from USB on x38 Motherboard, NOT?

    See sys specs... ASUS ROG x38 motherboard, flashed to x48 Rampage.

    In BIOS under "Boot Device Priority", I select and of the 3 boot device slots, and no where do I find an option for USB, these are the only options in each:

    • 1st floopy drive
    • HDD: P0-WDC WD2500KS
    • ATAPI CD-ROM
    • Disabled
    Is there a place in the BIOS to enable boot from USB?

    It's AMI, says v02.61 on the BIOS screen

    Typically the USB should be listed under the hard drive boot order. Set your "Boot Device Priority" to HDD first, then set the hard drive boot order to the USB stick first.

    Boot from external USB HDD

    Hello!

    Any laptop should be able to Be booted from an external HDD.

    You can check this back accessing your BIOS and then checking if the BIOS gives you an option to boot from USB.

    If that option is listed, then you're good to go!
