Hello,
I tried installing Ubuntu on an old Presario I had hidden in the closet. However, there has been a problem that I did not know how to resolve.
After the install I try to boot up the OS. Prior to getting to the login screen I see a series of messages. One message is an error. The error tells me that I must update BIOS (can not from the Compaq site or anywhere else for the matter) or use the command:
force=1
I tried finding information on how to implement that but to my dismay I could not find any answers.
Would anyone know how I would be able to utilize this command and override this BIOS problem so i can fully use Ubuntu 10.04 on this old dinosaur? :confused:
