Hello!

There was a problem with running Debian.

The problem is this: put on your laptop (Asus x550cc) Debian everything worked well.

Then it became necessary to disassemble the laptop, I had to pull out the HDD. After everything was built back Linux stopped running.

Immediately it knocks out in the BIOS where the boot optiob priorities are empty, but the disk is displayed in the SATA configuration. The disk is EXACTLY serviceable and properly connected. I am so sure of this because this problem does not arise for the first time, before that it was solved by reinstalling the OS, but now I want to fix it all the same.

BIOS settings in default already demolished, did not help.
How to be?

  • And it may happen that the default BIOS settings for your laptop is a UEFI + Secure boot? And he expects to see only the Windows bootloader? And there is another possibility that your Debian is installed on the partition with the MBR, and generally without UEFI ... - Vladimir
  • speaking about his own shikas, I once got an intel bios, who refused to boot from the screw, if there was no partition marked with a boot-flag on it ... maybe a similar case? - Fat-Zer
  • And how to fix it? - Victor Nickel
  • If you do not know which partition table and which boot loader is installed, then it remains only to sort out the possible options in the BIOS. If Secure boot is enabled, disable it first (as far as I remember, linux does not live with it) ... You can try to boot from a USB flash drive (or DVD) and see which partition table. If GPT, then definitely in the BIOS you need to enable UEFI support. - Vladimir
  • @Vladimir, grub perfectly knows how to boot from GPT without any UEFI ... - Fat-Zer
