eCS on an Acer Aspire One?

<< < (9/10) > >>

BigGoofyGuy:
I was able to install FreeDOS onto it. I used FD to alter the hard drive. It works.

I tried to install eCS 2.2 beta. It saw the drive. It did not mention an error on the disc. I got as far as to format the drive. It indicated it could not format the drive. 'SYS0528; the specified disk did not finish formatting; SYS1311...'. I could not see the rest of the message. The drive was in red letters. I am not sure if this is indicating a problem. The drive shows as FAT32. It is 225153 MB. It has 13319 MB as free space. I think the partition error might be in this part but it could keep it from formatting? It only shows JFS as the format option. I am trying other things.  8)


--- Quote ---I get the 'incompatible' message when it is checking the drive and before I can check the 'management' button.    I believe it is after one check 'I accept' and goes to the next screen and checks the drive. I was hoping to get to the 'management' button but it exits me out before I can.

I think this has to do with my Asus X55U instead of my Acer Aspire One (wrong thread).

BigGoofyGuy:
I installed FreeDOS and used it to repartition the hard drive. I tried eCS again. I eliminated the partition and was able to make it bootable. eCS formated the drive as JFS. I was able to install eCS 2.2 beta on it. It works really well.  8) I have not used eCS for awhile and am looking forward to using it again.

Now I have to install the network driver. I have to figure out which one it is since it did not detect it and I think I chose the wrong one.  :o  It is minor since I have eCS 2.2 beta installed on it.  ;D

Now to get eCS 2.2 beta on the Asuss X55U.  ::)

To figure out what device is installed on your laptop PC, you may try running Veit's PCI utility with updated VID:PID list on it.

BigGoofyGuy:
I have downloaded them. Thanks.  8)

I downloaded it to a flash drive. It did not see the files on the flash drive. I re-read the part about the flash drive needing LVM. I will check it out.  8)

All the help given is appreciated.  8)
