nWm_CZ Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hi, I also have IP35 Pro with latest BIOS ( more then 2 years old, abit stopped manufacturing motherboards ) I think problem is with Mac file system, BIOS can't recognize it... Windows 7 installation from USB stick is fine. I don't have time, I hope you find solution soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibishin Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Check out this thread here: http://reboot.pro/8122/ The original poster alludes to a possible BIOS bug with grub/grub4dos code in the MBR of a USB stick. I've experienced the same problem just this weekend while trying to load FreeBSD on my ABit IP35 Pro, and was able to consistently reproduce it by putting grub/grub4dos directly in the MBR of any USB stick. If you can, try chainloading from syslinux or another boot loader to work around the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
