I have a newer AMD 88X board that doesn't work with the default Xorg GUI,
but does work with the alternate Xvesa, at least as of version 2014_04_28.
You might try Xvesa ("Alternate graphics server" in the boot menu) on the
newer version and see if that works.In either case, it makes secure erase a breeze. -----Original Message----- From: Hardware [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of FORC5 Sent: Friday, August 8, 2014 1:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [H] SSD and XP ?/partmagic older version dl'ed worked OK, newer one would not load the gui never mind <:-| At 10:05 AM 8/8/2014, FORC5 Poked the stick with: >dl'e this, web sites show a GUI interface, all I get is a command line >load and I see no command lines to do a secure erase. >I see clonezilla in there but it is not GUI. > >did I dl the wrong thing ? > >put a new Samsung SSD in this laptop and installed w7.
