So again, the notebook does not Block the install of other OS!!!!!!! I installed - Windows 7 - Windows 8.1 - Debian 8.2 amd64 (twice)
and I can boot also from: - Clonezilla - Boot repair disk - Linux Mint Live So it is OK! Just Linuxcnc ISO is 32-bit and therefor not suited! I am satisfied with the hardware, it has good design, is powerfull and I got it at a resonable price (€ 699) IHMO not the Laptop is wrong, but we will have to see how linuxcnc will handle modern hardware in the future. @EBo I just llog for a Sager/Clevo notebook and the new ones do have UEFI Bios like my one ;-) Norbert Am 03.01.2016 um 12:02 schrieb EBo: > On Jan 2 2016 7:23 PM, Gene Heskett wrote: >> On Saturday 02 January 2016 12:08:19 andy pugh wrote: >> >>> On 2 January 2016 at 16:04, Niemand Sonst <nie...@web.de> wrote: >>>>> I am sorry you purchased defective hardware.
