Cannot boot computer after installing Ubuntu
Hey guys,
I just got a refurbished computer and after installing Ubuntu, computer refuses to boot and instead displays screen with message: "Insert system disk in drive. Press any key when ready...." I tried reinstalling Linux twice (from a usb and from a cd) and the problem persists. I have a Toshiba Portege R930 which originally had a Windows 7 and I installed Ubuntu 16.04.2 Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thankyou xx |
Is it EFI or BIOS. If BIOS, check BIOS to make sure system set to boot from hard disk.

https://askubuntu.com/questions/7331...-disk-in-drive Same model! Sometimes web-search of error, plus a few more keywords, like linux install, gets lucky! Welcome to LQ! Let us know how it goes. p.s. LQ search has an option for "Search Titles Only" (pulldown, under Keywords, instead of the default of Entire Posts); try the keyword UEFI; also, button at bottom, "Show Results as" Threads, instead of Posts. |

Seeing that you had Windows 7, it is probably MBR. In that case, it is easy. Check this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing. The section Fixing a broken system/via the Live CD terminal will surely help. |
Hello and welcome to LQ.
As noted above. "Insert system disk in drive." means you are not booting to a correctly configured drive. Either bios is wrong or install is wrong. Very few other common issues. |
