Successful XG install - No boot device

Nathan_K

I'm trying to install the current (18.0.1) version of XG onto physical hardware and not having any success. I've tried on two different systems (a Core i3 and a newer Wyse with an AMD processor, both 64-bit systems with 8+ GB RAM) and multiple storage devices from 32 GB - 500 GB. I used Rufus to create the bootable USB, which seems to work fine. The installations all show successful, but the machine fails to boot afterwards.

If I look at the disk using EaseUS Partition Master (or any other partitioning software), I see an unallocated space (about 10% of the drive), a 136 MB "Other" partition, then a 64 MB FAT32, then another unallocated space for the remainder of the drive.

I've seen several threads on this, but I haven't found a solution.

Any assistance would be really appreciated. I really love the product, but this is pretty frustrating.

    Hi,

    how many NICs of what type? Intel i219 series are not supported neither are m2. storage devices. Further try formatting the disk in another device.

    I've got one NIC in either device currently, and I know that will put it into Safe Mode on boot, but it currently comes up with No Boot Device. Big difference in errors. Storage is SATA attached. I was able to finally get it to install on the Core i3 system, so I tried to move the drive to the other system and it just comes up with No Boot Device. I'm guessing it's VERY particular about hardware / BIOS / UEFI or Legacy, etc. and that's where my problem is. I've tried setting the Wyse (this is the system I really want to use due to it's extremely small foot print) to Legacy and BIOS, but it still doesn't work.
