Computer problem. It won't boot up

jbander · 09-08-2015, 04:58 PM

When I turn on the operating system and try to boot up my computer . It trys to load for a minute then I get this error-- The disk drive for /mnt/usb-generic_sd_reader_2004888-0:0 is not ready yet or not present. OK I go into recovery mode and I get this -keys continue to wait,or press s to skip mounting or m for manual recovery-- I push s and it boots but I must be in recovery mode. Anyway the computer doesn't work well in this mode.

Don't know if I can be of any help, but what operating system or distribution are you running? I assume you are trying to boot from a hard disk. Have you tried booting from some other bootable medium, such as CD, DVD, or USB device? Are you getting the Grub menu during boot, or are you not getting that far?
