Veriton X4630G Linux As first OS

Hi there. I'm new user and i hope ill find a way to fix my problem. So I need to install UNIX on my PC Desktop but , it couldn't possible via BIOS settings.

I'm able to load Live OS from usb by using F12 boot menu and install it on my HHD but , after reboot , same condition : no OS found and if i press F12 same chose "Windows boot Manager".

So i've tried several time to switch stuck Windows boot manager to Phisical HHD EX: s01 as HHD HITACHI 40GB for example. F12 boot menu shows same case : Windows boot manager .

It seems like a BIOS locked features or limitation.

What do i Must do in order to fix this?

Upgrade BIOS maybe can resolve this?

I'm gonna crazy for the moment I couldn't able to boot up correctly my UNIX OS ( BATOCERA LINUX in this case ) I spent a lot of time and google suggests to upgrade BIOS to latest version in order to unlock new features.

plese helpme on this

Before the Linux Boot, in the BIOS , Load Optimized Default (F9, or Fn F9), then save & exit (F10 or Fn+ F10).
Also, Secure Boot has to be disabled.

Then use F12 (or Fn + F12) to reach the Boot Menu. Hopefully this time Linux is one of the boot options.

When you install Linux, it should setup Grub for you in UEFI mode. It might be trying for Legacy mode instead, but pretty much all current Linux distributions should handle UEFI just fine. As ttttt suggests you might have to add your efi file to the trusted images list...

Do you want just Linux as the OS without Win 10? Or you want dual boot?

Have you tried the method I mentioned?

As far as I remember, once dual boot is successful , people can make selection which is the default OS.

Hi there.

Yes, I just need Linux as OS anything else.

I should try to understand how add key on booting process.

I got F9 no luck , F12 still WIndows Boot Manager.

I'm gonna crazy about this

I hadn't use dual-boot for a decade, probably the GRUB2 for OS selection is different now. I knew in case the GRUB boot loader get corrupted, it may even affect both the Windows and the Linux. That's why I use separate HDD/SSD for Windows and Linux now.

Since you can use the live USB, there should not be a problem with the BIOS. Your PC is a desktop, adding one 2.5" SATA3 SSD is easy, how about using a separate HDD/SSD like me.

Try this for your purpose:

Hit the Windows key + R

Type in : SYSDMCPL , then click OK

System Properties windows will pop up

Choose the Advanced option tab

Select Settings under the Startup & Recovery section

If there is more than one OS exist, you can select the default OS ( Linux for your case) from there

If there is only Windows, then something must be wrong with the Linux installation process.

Boot on the Live CD and use your flavor of Linux to wipe all existing partitions off the disk. There are likely three or four of them. Then ask Linux to install on the now empty disk and it should setup the correct bootable EFI partition with Grub to boot into Linux without Windows as an option.
