It seems everyone else has got the exact opposite of my problem. They can't boot from Live CD but not other way around as I am...or at least that's what I'm assuming the problem is.



Here's what I did. I have an acer iconia tab w500 tablet (windows 7) with dvd-rom, 1TB usb3-hard drive and other stuff connected to it via USB, like a finger scanner) and I decided to try Ubuntu on a tablet.



Burn the ISO to a DVD, booted from DVD, partitioned it to ext4 with swap and installed but soon as it restarts its just keep booting from the Live CD and not from where it s installed (the 1tb hard drive).



If I take the cd out, it just gives error like "can't found live cd source". By the way there is already Windows 7 installed on tablets internal storage(32GB)



I installed Ubuntu on the external hard drive, so on the boot screen it asks which OS I want.



Before the installation the, tablet didn't boot from the Live CD and straight opened windows 7. I can't change BIOS settings and see which device is booting first (since I've got no external keyboard to press F2 after pressing correct buttons on the tablet).



I had to choose this option from the Ubuntu Live CD menu in Windows to install this additional autorun setting.

If anyone thinks these images are OTT, please comment and I'll shrink them. I'm trying to be funny, I'm probably not managing



This is because the bios is in the wrong order. You need to set the external HDD as the first boot item.



Solution? Buy one of these?

Is there another way to remove this without getting into BIOS? I'm not keen to walk to town just to buy a keyboard. If I could only now what did it changed I can undo it from windows.




Nope. You need to buy one of those.



BIOS is the problem, BIOS is the fix.
