I’m running out of creative options. ------ SUMMARY: Windows setup starts on my old Dell XPS 17 L702x. Linux and Home Assistant aren’t working. No OS detected after resetting BIOS settings, Secure Boot unavailable, USB flashing failed on multiple media. I tried Ubuntu via BalenaEtcher and Rufus but still got no results. The system passed BIOS tests but didn’t boot. ------
Consider this tip but proceed with caution—it might render your Windows instance non-functional. It’s safer to disconnect the Windows drive while you try. Check for a 'Legacy' boot option in BIOS; switching between UEFI or Legacy settings can sometimes resolve the issue. Within BIOS, disable any additional SATA devices, enable Legacy USB support, and ensure all other peripherals (webcams, KVM, etc.) are unplugged. Use only your Linux boot drive and remove everything else except the monitor and keyboard + installer USB. Good luck!
Thank you for your input! The Dell XPS laptop BIOS seems very limited, with no options to upgrade from legacy to UEFI. There’s no way to turn off internal drives, only external USB and SATA ports can be disabled. Everything appears disconnected except the internal drives. At one point, Linux worked on both internal drives, but Windows boots fine on all of them. During installation, it reports success and then says reboot, but no OS is found afterward.
Check your BIOS for those settings under General → Boot Sequence → Boot List Options. Change it to UEFI, then add a boot entry, choose a filesystem, find the 'grubx64.efi' file in the EFI folder, and add it. This is often needed for Live Media and after installation.
Additionally, consider other settings like First HDD USB Storage Device Removable Drive and Second HDD...
