Title: Plop 5.0.13 booting from CD *NOT* from HD
Post by: SuperFabius on November 20, 2011, 17:16:48 PM
Hello,
first thanks for your great program! I like it a lot, with PXE (in a Virtual Machine PXE server) too....


The issue:

I have an HP Pavillon t3440 (AMD Athlon 64 x2 3800+ CPU) with 1GB RAM and one sata HD.
I installed Plop 5.0.13 from CD (file PLPBTIN.ISO - Full install option) to an HD formatted from scratch with only one NTFS primary partition (just for testing).
When Plop boots, it only shows time and date in the right low screen area (see photo), and the upper left boot selection menu doesn't appear al all.
The only active keys are the Ctrl+Alt+Canc rebooting sequence.

If I boot from CD (file mastered PLPBT.ISO) Plop runs normally (off course I can't save profiles...).
The same problem appears with version 5.0.10 and 5.0.12 (in these two cases time/date window is not shown and the only way to reboot is power off), but NOT with version 5.0.11 witch is the ONLY one that runs if installed on HD.
I tested with some HDs from 80GB to 750GB with various partioning configurations with the same result.
Any suggestion?

Regards
