Having trouble Installing CAELinux2011

Hello,

I am a new user of CAELinux and I followed the instructions exactly. I created a LiveDVD and mounted the iso file on my USB.

After booting it from my USB, I tried to install CAELinux onto my hard drive, and went through the steps from there. I created a username for my account and waited until the partition was completed. It then asked me to restart my computer and I would be able to use the programs freely.

After restarting my computer, no options to boot from the partition of CAELinux came up. It defaulted to Windows. I'm not sure if I need to boot from my USB device every time I want to run the program or not.

After having trouble with this for about 20 minutes I booted from the USB device again, but I couldn't save anything directly to my hard drive. Any help would be great seeing as I'm very new to this and haven't partitioned a computer before.

Thanks!

Hello Ronny,

I have installed CAELinux a few month ago. Everything went well! I don´t need any USB-Device for booting. But I can´t boot windows

This is not much, but now you know that it´s not normal. I´m new to all this too. But I hear taht sometimes the partitioning causes Problems!

Hi Ronny,

you or anyone else still interested in this topic?

Can you please tell if your machine has (U)EFI (new "BIOS" type)?

You will find out easily if under WIN you will find a *.efi file somewhere
or when you start the setup procedure you will find something about
EFI or about Secure Boot in the security tabs.

I suppose it could be a matter of wrong path settings in the bootloader.

Would be interested to trap it down as I faced similar probs these days.

Have a nice day.
