I tried to put Ubuntu Mate back into my laptop. It had been there until a week ago when I decided to try Windoze. I have repented of my sins and my computer needs an angel of healing. I put Windows 8.1 back in it and it worked as well as Windows is going to work. It was because my wife was taking a course in microsoft word.
The computer is a Toshiba Satellite 55D-85308. It came with Windows 8.1. The Bios was not upgraded since the last time it ran Linux perfectly. Ubuntu Mate when in without a hitch, except that I noticed that the install didn't know that Windows was in the computer. Secure boot was disabled. Windows Quick start was disabled. It would not let me reinstall the bios. When I tried to boot up in CSM I got PXE_MOF: exiting PXE ROM reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key. When I tried to boot up in UEFI I got the message Reboot and seclet proper boot device and press a key Further 1) Kill disk would not run to zero fill the hard drive. I tried two different CD's that were the edition for Windows 8 HELP!!!!!1 CYBERSPACE IS NOT RESPONDING AND TELLING ME TO "PLEASE WAIT." A 66 YEAR OLD GUY DOESN'T WANT TO WAIT TOO LONG FOR ANYTHING!!! What can I do? What CAN I do? It reinstalls Windows perfectly so I don't think that I have a hardware problem. If I survive this I am going to run to the zoo and hug every penguin there.
