I inherited several Lenovo m91p machines that currently have Ubuntu installed: I can log into one, but the others are all locked and so I am trying to reinstall a fresh copy of ubuntu on each of the others. The machines are identical, so I know that ubuntu *can* be installed successfully.
Issue: I keep getting Error Code 1962: No operating system found whenI try to boot
Attempting: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit install
Partition settings: I have tried several based on forum posts I have found, but the most "vanilla" is probably what I have included here in the pastebin. One single partition on the HDD: /dev/sda1
Attempted solutions:
1) wiped out the HDD partition and fresh installed Ubuntu
2) after fresh install, I tried booting from live USB (works) and running boot-repair (tried recommended repair settings)
3) tried turning off "quick mode" in the BIOS boot settings
4) tried changing boot options in BIOS from [AUTO] to [EFI] to [LEGACY] ... still the same error
http://paste.ubuntu.com/20107757/
I really don't know what's going on here, but somewhere between the BIOS and GRUB, something is not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
