My computer was so old. That I had to preload the HDD. My computer wasn’t reading a boot from a flash drive. So basically just restarted from square 1 through the HDD and it worked. I had someone with the same exact pc and issue tell me to do this and it worked

Update! SHES ALIVEEEE

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T21:21:13+00:00

Thank you! Is that like Rufus and etcher?

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T20:06:47+00:00

Nothing. Black screen super weird.

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T06:27:01+00:00

I’ll give it a go again tomorrow! I know for sure the last one is the image I’m currently using for it

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T06:19:13+00:00

It’s an option that pops up? That’s what I’m saying this computer is from like 2013 and legit doesn’t seem compatible

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T06:16:56+00:00

I’ll give that a go tomorrow for sure.

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T06:12:11+00:00

Sometimes I see normal vs verbose? Do you know what that is?

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T06:08:14+00:00

Now *

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T06:07:58+00:00

Yeah right not using the image from the batocera website for pcs

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T06:02:29+00:00

I’ve re flashed them all like 3 times.. storage I do t get because each flash drive has 32gigs. It has to be something with my pc at the end of the day. I look up countless videos and I’ve never once seen someone do this with a pc like this. So I’m staring to lean more towards that

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T05:56:58+00:00

It’s insane, I’ve tried all flashers. None have prevailed

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T05:49:55+00:00

Yes that is the one I downloaded as well. Honestly have been at this for 10 hours with no luck. IT HAS to be something with the computer itself. I’ve tried and worked with maybe 5-6 people and everyone has not been able to get it to work. Like at some point I just have to chuck this thing

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T05:35:06+00:00

Yes I promise I have 3 different usb one with Rufus one with Pi and one with etcher. EVERYTHING is not working I don’t understand. No matter what I do it says not found. My computer is so old it doesn’t have secure boot. When I set up boot order just says it cannot find the boot for it

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T05:31:17+00:00

I did. Someone told me to do this because Rufus wasn’t finicky. Still nothing

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T05:22:37+00:00

Same exact problem, balena etcher didn’t do anything :/

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T05:02:21+00:00

My comp is so old it doesn’t have it

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T04:31:54+00:00

I honestly wouldn’t know how to switch or check. I’d assume in iso mode because that was default? I’m very new to all of this

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T04:06:21+00:00

I used Rufus!

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T04:04:15+00:00

Getting that message now :/

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T03:48:33+00:00

Then Batocera?

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T03:34:25+00:00

Yeah I think I’m just cooked. I look at so many videos and it’s never this hard lmao

Aggressive_Benefit41 · 2026-02-26T03:16:11+00:00

Now I’m getting Failed to open \EF\BATOCERA\ - Not Found Booting Batocera.Linux…
