Hi there. I'm happy to be a part of this community and that it's great to meet you all!
I'm having a small problem with an old laptop I have managed to find. For the past 2 days, I've tried to install multiple distros on it via a USB drive but failed. It turns out that the HDD has been taken out and the only on board storage is eMMC. Unfortunately, I keep receiving "no bootable device" when I remove the installation media (the USB drive).
My next plan was to use another USB drive as the storage for the laptop and to install Linux on. After the installation finished, I take out the installation media leaving the USB drive where Linux was installed to still plugged in, reboot the laptop and I get the same "no bootable device" text. I reboot the laptop again, enter the boot order page and nothing is showing. I've taken out the other USB drive, plug it into my desktop and I can see the OS files on it.
Some information:
. Acer Aspire ES1-132
. InsydeH20 BIOS
. Secure boot is disabled
. Linux distro tested: ubuntu, fedora and ubuntu mate.
If anyone can help me out, that was be amazing and if you require any extra info, please just ask!
PS - I have created a Windows boot disk and tried that with nothing but the eMMC storage and Windows 10 works fine?
