[SOLVED] No operating system found after installation

Hey there,
I'm new to Arch, I switched from Ubuntu and I'm willing to give Arch a fair try. My system is now more or less up and running and I'm very excited.
However, I can only boot with the CD inserted and by choosing "Boot existing OS". If I remove the CD, I cannot boot because no OS is found on the harddisk.
I tried running "grub-install /dev/sda" again, but that didn't work.
I installed using "gdisk". My main system partition is encrypted, but /boot is not encrypted. I used a simple partition layout with LUKS, no LVM. I tried to find my error on the Installation Guide and the Beginners Guide, but I can't figure out what I did wrong...
Help would be much appreciated. Let me know if you use further information.
Thanks in advance
Jonas

For UEFI, you need an EFI System Partition. You don't need the BIOS boot partition.
Oh, and the installation CD needs to have been booted in UEFI mode as well. UEFI systems generally support both UEFI booting and legacy BIOS emulation. If you boot in BIOS mode, GRUB won't be able to install properly. You can run your whole setup in BIOS emulation mode if you don't particularly care for UEFI, but then using a legacy MSDOS partition table would perhaps be preferrable over GPT. (Or so the Wiki says.)
As for "booting in UEFI mode" -- when I start my system up, I can press F11 to bring up a selection of where to boot from. Your key is likely going to vary, but the important bit is that -- on my computer at least -- it shows me two very similar entries for the Arch CD -- except one has "UEFI: " prepended to it -- that's the one I use to boot in UEFI mode. Your mileage is going to vary, but hopefully it'll be somewhat similar.
I found an option in my BIOS to enable UEFI, but it is disabled by default. I find it quite strange that I have to enable this in order to make my installation work, as I never did this with Ubuntu. If I enable the third option (see pic), then I can boot the CD in UEFI mode. So that works. My question now is: Can I fix my installation or do I have to reinstall the entire system? I read in the wiki that the UEFI system partition has to be FAT32 and there is a minimal size of 256MB. However, my current boot partition is only 200MB. So I cant just reformat my old boot partition, or am I wrong?

[Solved] No operating system found

Hello,
I just installed arch Linux, but I ran into one problem. When I boot I get the bios message "operating system not found". The strange thing is that when I choose "boot existing os" from the arch Linux cd it boots fine.
Some information :
Dell XPS15
Syslinux bootloader
Thanks for reading, I hope someone knows how to fix this.

"ERROR 1962: No operating system found." After installing ESXi 5.5 successfully.

I just installed VMware vSphere esxi 5.5 hypervisor on my lenovo think-center machine with config: i5, 3.2gHz, >300gb SATA HDD, 6GB ram. However after successful installation I receive "ERROR 1962: NO OPERATING SYSTEM FOUND". I've tried 'formatwithmbr' and tweaking some of my BIOS setting like changing boot mode to legacy,auto and UEFI one after another, putting boot preference for HDD first etc. But none seems to work. I think BIOS and its settings are completely ineffective when it tries to boot, and I am not even taken to the esxi 5.5 hypervisor menu. Kindly help.
PS- The machine had windows server 2012 as running OS while installing esxi 5.5.

Dear rachitt_23
1. May I know what machine are you using?
2. Check whether Intel VT Technology is Enabled?
3. Even if the boot mode is set to Auto, check that it is configured to Legacy first.

B540p error 1962 no operating system found

i have had nothing but problems with this model since day 1. i upgraded to windows 8 and have suffered all of the associated symptoms that everybody else is suffering..
today is the last straw.. i have an error 1962 .. no operating system found..
i have been overly patient.. fixing this brand new machine has taken alot of time and effort...
why should i already have spent all this time on a brand new machine..
there is only help on here from other frustrated users. i find this incredible for a machine that cost over 900 pounds..
lenovo have had very little in the way of advice to their customers on here over this machine..
the answer to this problem nay have been very easily solved..
THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY BIG WARNING SENT OUT WITH THIS MACHINE..
NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 8... BUT HEY WHO WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE MACHINE THEN???
I HAVE A BRAND NEW MACHINE THAT SIMPLY DOESNT WORK...
AND WITH WINDOWS 8 UPGRADED ONLINE.. WINDOWS 7 IS GONE FOREVER..
SURELY ITS TIME TO ASK FOR A PRODUCT RECALL..
the worst thing about buying this is that I dont even know if I would have had the same amount of problems if I hadnt upgraded to windows 8... lenovo seem to be hiding behind this issue.. its a windows 8 problem , not lenovo, or its a store problem, they are the ones who said it would be compatible...
I saw nothing from lenovo to say , dont upgrade..
this machine simply doesnt work and its surely time for lenovo to do something about it.

Edit : saddly the crappy message came back. It seems that indeed it's a connection matter. When it reconnects the HDD correctly, sometimes it messes up with the boot sequence so this is why I could "repair" somemthing.
Waiting for the SAV.
Hi there, I felt on that topic today since the brand new Lenovo B540 computer of my wife gave us that deadly message.
Well .. I have been able to make it work (so I think, I don't trust that computer anymore)
So, I registered in order to share what I did :
First of all I created a bootable usb key with http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
In that little jewel I used Parted Magic (in the first page, third from the bottom) to realize that "hey, the HD is actually HERE !!" I could see the files modify them etc ..
But since I ain't no expert I haven't been able to use the tools to change something. However, I could see that something was wrong with the boot sequence, that the letter of my hardrive was on D:\ and the booting was on some weird Lenovo partition... So, I said to myself : Well, lets find a way to place back the boot on the D:\
I then created a Recovery CD from my Win7 64bit personnal installation.
To create such a CD, place an empty CD in your burner :
Start menu -> Run -> recdisc -> choose the letter of your CD/DVD burner -> create
Then I booted on it (you must the *Boot Priority: [Auto].)
After a decade of loading, the windows 7 recovery system found a Boot error and asked me if I wanted it to be repaired. Of course, I said "YES, f...k YES !!" .. and, of course, it didn't work . . .
But, interesting thing is, after the fix failed, I had some options like restore previous versions etc etc and "DOS Line codes (or something like that, it pops up a CMD line comands window).
And then the real deal started :
I placed myself on the correct letter -> D:
Then that line of code : BootRec /RebuildBcd
After two decades of works, it asked me if I wanted the D letter to be added back on the boot list. Of course, I said "YEEEEEEEEEES" while crying my soul out, and then, of course, it made me an error ...
After a 10 min of curses that you don't want to hear, I then typed : BootRec /fixboot
And it worked.
I rebooted on the Windows CD recovery who of course found one more time the Boot issue, and when I asked for it to repair that error : IT F... WORKED !!
I rebooted 3 times the PC just to be sure, turned it off 2 times, everything SEEMS to be fine.
So, I share that with you now, because all the way I used I found it here and there on this forum !
Hope it helps

ERROR CODE 1962 - NO OPERATING SYSTEM FOUND

My B540 continues to experience intermittent problems with Error Code 1962-No Operating System Found. Sometimes the computer will run correctly for 3 or 4 days, other times for just an hour, but in the end it repeatedly locks up and will not reboot. If I check the Bios Setup immediately after this happens, it says that there is no HDD. However, if I wait for an hour or two with the computer off, it will boot.
1. The logical explanation is that the HDD is faulty, but that is not so in this case. In addition to the HDD that came with the computer, I have tried two other HDDs, both brand new, never used, and both with fresh Win 7 installs. Both of those ended up with the same Error Code 1962. There is no way that all three HDDs could be defective.
2. I removed and reseated the memory.
3. I ran extensive diagnostic tests on the memory; it tests OK.
4. Someone suggested plugging the HDD SATA cable into a different SATA connection, but the B540 only has two connections (one for the HDD, one for the optical drive). I swapped those two, but still got the error code.
I have to believe that the problem is with the motherboard. I have noticed on the forum that other people are experiencing the same 1962 error code; has anyone found a working solution?
Thanks!

Ah, bummer. Thought maybe I was onto something...

Big troubles! clicking hard disk, no operating system found

hi group.i have a satellite p305d-s8828 laptop. i was told my hard drive is fried. when i turn it on, theres a constant clicking noise and then message that no operating system found. any ideas? anybody? PLEASE.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Of course there is. They make good quality drives, that perform well, are affordable, with excellent reliability, something most of the others can not claim.
Seagates over the past few years have had too high of a failure rate. They used to make some excellent drives (I have a couple of older 7300.10's from 2006 that are still running strong) but pretty much anything made after the 7200.10's have been problematic at best. They also tend to run MUCH hotter than comparable drives from WDC which is one of the main things that kill hard drives. Since laptops are so compact there is no way to adequately cool down overly hot hard drives so Seagates really aren't a good option.
Toshiba hard drives run slow and hot, two things you don't want in a hard drive. That's enough to keep them off of my recommended list.
Fujitsu used to make great drives, but now that they are part of Toshiba I question their quality and have to place them on the same avoid at all costs with Seagate and Toshiba.
I've never used any Samsung hard drives and have no experience with them. While I don't go so far as to say avoid them at all costs like I do Toshiba and Seagate hard drives, I can't recommend them as I simply don't have anything to base an opinion on one way or another.
Hitachi make some excellent drives, and their 7K500 is the best overal performing hard drive and come highly recommended by people who know that I trust. That would be the only NON WDC drive I would recommend.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

H520s Error 1962 No operating system found

Hi, I have a Lenovo H520s, and two problems just appeared. First of all, it started to show "Start PXE over IPv4," then after waiting for a while "PXE-E18: Server response timeout. Start PXE over IPv6" would appear. A little bit later, the computer simply shows "Error 1962: No operating system found."
I went into the BIOS and I have Boot Mode set to "Auto" with UEFI first. I don't know where to go from here.
I recently used IOBit Uninstaller to uninstall all the software for my Epson WF-3540 scanner/printer and then reinstalled everything, and my only theory was that IOBit uninstaller deleted something that it should not have. This is probably the first time I have turned the computer off and on again since then.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

T43: "No operating system found"

I have an aftermarket, Western Digital 320 GB harddrive installed on my T43 (2668). Every now and then it will display a "No operating system found" message. After some random number of restart attempts, it will work, and firefox will even remember the tabs I had open. It will display the 2010 error, but that is not a problem. Does anyone know how to fix/avoid this?
Thanks

System freezes after installation of version 11.5.502.149

WindowsXp, Firefox, Flash player 11.5.502.149 - I have made 2 attempts to load latest version; both times when I have restarted my system Windows will only load to Wallpaper and then stops- I waited for atleast 30 minutes - no program icons, no taskbar etc, Have used safe mode to uninstall flash player, did registry fix, have used system restore, still will not load. Did chkdsk - no apparent disk problems - but then after attempting to restart several times after long wait finally loaded. System will now restart, but as this happened after installation of flash player 2x I am unwilling to retry. - and now can not reload older version of flashplayer. - have recently installed other program updates and have not had system freeze so do not think it is a general installation problem. Any ideas?
Thanks

Pat
Trying to install an older version I got a message something to the effect that a newer version is available and program does not install. By hunting around the support areas on Adobe I did find a page that noted that if for some reason the new version did not work an older version was archived and a link.. so I did find an older version that would load.. of course I had to find a Zip program to unzip the file and it did try the same message ... there were 2 unzipped versions - only one worked but I do now have a working version albeit of Flash Player.
I googled for WindowsXp freezing and found a number of bulletin boards/forums that discussed solutions - which were pretty much what I did. Typically it happened after installing a new or updated program. No reasons were mentioned as to why or what was happening and the solutions of starting in safe mode, uninstalling, restoring, chkdsk are all sort of hit and miss... if one doesn't work try another... with the final solution being reload windows.. of course my version came installed and I don't have a backup disk so I imagine that would be another day or two of total frustration... so I guess I will avoid trying to update the flash player as long as possible. I have my system set up to only allow updates I have confirmed.
Thanks for your prompt response.

But i have a problem.
In the scenario which we have, File name is DYNAMICALLY GENERATED by a UDF
I want to call the file at run time after message processing via Command Line and execute some os commands.
But since the file name is Dynamic....How will i call the file at run time in Command Line:
SYNTAX: %f(FileName)
How will i specify the file name in the above syntax as the file name is Dynamic and not constatnt.
Please Advice.

Dear All,
Yes just now i got the answer from this thread[OS command line script - Need help;
Actually i have another doubt now
In REVEIVER FILE ADAPTER:
when we give Run Operating system Command After Message processing
does the OS command get executed after the output file is placed in the Receiver folder/server or before its placed in the receiver folder?
Regards,

Is it possible to call operating system command after file receive?

Hi expert,
I'm trying to call operating system command after file receive comm.channel receive a txt file.
operating system command uses txt file name as parameter.
Is it possible? How?
Thanks.

Hi,
It should be possible, actually we have two options that are
1.RUN OS command before message processing
2.RUN OS command after message processing.
So you can give the commands in the RUN OS command after message processing.
