those coolers have rotational symmetry (?) so you can install them bottom to top or front to back, its nbd

i post on an internet forum and for the last decade or so a large proportion of the posts contain either a) images from an image host that has announced it is purging a lot of their files and b) a social network owned by a racist moron which is very quickly being run into the ground do you think the loss of all this ‘content’ will have a corrosive effect on the forum, and ruin a lot of its history, or is it nbd

weird thing happened to me. my mom wanted me to fix up this few-years-old hp pavilion laptop for her. I checked it out and it seems fine except it has a spinny drive in it. so i rip it out and put in a blank ssd. go to install windows 11 with a usb made with the official ms media tool, but it just shows the hp logo and the spinner for a second before rebooting. i had another usb laying around with windows 10 installer on it, that shows a half-corrupted screen but otherwise the same behavior. turned off secure boot, changed boot order for good measure, still nothing. disabled TPM, still nothing. so I put in a fedora install usb, it boots up no issue. now i'm installing fedora to just check and make sure I didn't break anything during hard drive swap, but any ideas as to why the windows installers wouldn't work? same USB stick was used for windows 10 and fedora.

I’m not going to give my mom a Linux laptop, I wonder if it requires a special hp signed version of windows? I’ve never heard of anything like that but it seems possible, but I would also think disabling secure boot would invalidate that

i have a vague memory of being able to install linux on something, but installing windows required somehow preloading some extra drivers. kind of funny that linux had better hardware support out of the box vs windows. well, that's my windows install problem story!

That has a very low probability of doing anything though. I haven't had windows installs muck up like that since installing NT4 with -0x or whatever switches.

it’s really weird, I would have not been surprised by this maybe 15 years ago but windows has gotten a lot less brittle since vista era. I’ll try installing from a dvd (!) later and see if that works

get one of those usb linux jobbies that installs grub and then install windows as well (maybe need to copy a working windows partition idk since the installer won't work). then use grub to load windows e: disclaimer: no idea if this will work

did you try loading the boot menu and explicitly selecting the thumbdrive to boot off? that it booted off the linux one suggests usb boot should be fine but hey who knows, maybe some there's some UEFI and Windows fuckery where you need to kick it upside the head have you tried making a win11 iso without the official tool? download a plain iso and use something like rufus, or even totally manually with diskpart and copying over the iso contents?

does it have usb3? maybe try one of the 2.0 ports. I used to have to do that, but I never got the symptoms your having. sounds like a graphics card might be on its way out or something. maybe blow some canned air through it to get dust out if that makes sense

you could image the windows installer to a partition on the ssd, boot from that, install it to a different partition, then delete + resize the remainder its kind of a pain in the rear end but that's what i'd do in that situation, assuming the reason you can't get it to boot is because it's from usb (and not that the installer itself is somehow incompatible) e: maybe try to use the linux bootloader for good measure? you can add an entry to bootx64.efi on the usb drive Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 03:27 on May 21, 2023 |

things I’ve tried: different usb ports, booting off of a Linux multi boot usb thingy (no video corruption but still rebooted), ran the recovery partition from old hdd (don’t know how to pick a target drive but it definitely overwrote fedora, making the ssd completely unbootable). now looking into slipstreaming hp drivers into install media, assuming this old amd apu is somewhat exotic. then I’ll try a pxe server. I think last resort is get a larger ssd and just clone the old drive but I don’t want to tear this thing apart againpolyester concept posted:you could try booting the computer… seriously considering it lol. from the era of cheap laptops that advertise hd+ screen! that’s actually 1600x900

got somewhere! slipstreaming hp drivers into boot.wim and install.wim got to the installation screen and install! consistently fails after the reboot at "preparing devices". maybe i'll try a different set of drivers. does windows write any logs for installation that I can check out on this pos?

i tried calling hp, they don't have install images for computers more than 5 years old. but it got me thinking, this would have had windows from ca. 2015 on it. so i found an iso of windows 10 1507 and put it on the usb stick, and fuckin wouldnt you know it installed successfully. i guess microsoft are the fuckups in this story
