Redirect bug I think...

this is what shows up when I hit f122

Boot option menu

1. IDE 0:ST9160314AS
2. NETWORK BOOT: ATHEROS BOOT AGENT



I have tried both of those and nothing the computer starts but doesnt boot from the thumb drive

Again in case I didnt tell you I appreciate all this I know how it got into the computer and who the culprit was........
 
Hi,

See if BIOS (you should see instructions to entry BIOS right when you start the system) has USB set as 1st booting device.

Please try to re-create the USB contents by following those steps given. There should be more contents in that drive than just one file. If that fails we need to try bootable cd (in that case you'll need an empty cd).

I will try that this morning but unfortunately the laptop does not have a cd drive it is a very basic laptop its one of the small ones. will post results later.
 
I attached a screen shot of the Xpud usb installer please tell me if there is something that needs changed. Cause I redownloaded it and tried to put it on the usb but again just the one file is on the usb. Also I dl both things one is
unetbootin-x-pud-windows-387 and the one that says xpud-0.9.2 is there something I am suppose to do with the second thing I dl???
 
Hi,

You have to select xpud-0.9.2.iso to that diskimage option. Sorry for forgetting it from my instruction set.
 
It still will not give me the option to boot from the thumbdrive. Next question if I restore my computer back to factory settings will that cure the problem or will the thing still be in my pc?
 
Hi,

I'm not totally sure if that would cure your problem. Could you check the usb contents? Also, I'd like to know if you're able to get into BIOS. What brand and model is the laptop?
 
Yes I can get into the BIOS the laptop is an Acer model Ao532h. I am gonna try again this morning I just got mad at it yesterday. The thumb drive I believe now has everything need to boot the computer
 
Good. Let's continue :)

Download tdl_fix.sh and save it to the xPUD flash drive.
Boot into xPUD then click the File tab.
Navigate to and select the mnt>sdb1 folder - you should see the tdl_fix.sh file.
Click Tool>Open Terminal on the menu bar.
Type bash tdl_fix.sh then press Enter.
Read the warning then type y and press Enter to continue.
Type sda then press Enter when prompted.
You will be shown a list of partitions to choose marking active.
Type 3 then press Enter.
If you are presented with a warning about no bootloader files, type n then press Enter to choose another. If this happens, type 2 to select partition 2 then press Enter.
When you recieve no warning about bootloader files but are presented with another view of the partition structure and asked if it looks correct, type y then press Enter.
The script will complete and prompt you to reboot the computer. Close the Terminal window and restart back into Windows.
Post the contents of the tdl_fix.txt file that was created on your flash drive and let me know how the computer is behaving.


Note - in the event there is a problem booting the computer normally after running the script, run the tdl_fix.sh script again using the following command.

bash tdl_fix.sh -restore

Make sure to leave a space to either side of tdl_fix.sh in the command.
This will prompt you to use the file tdl_mbr_sda.bin on drive sda.
Ok the procedure then restart when complete.
This is a backup of the original mbr and will restore it to it's current state.
