Experience needed: what can I exclude?
Posted: Fri May 29, 2015 12:02 pm
I hope someone with some experience can help me in the right direction.
My PC has two OS's: Win XP and Linux Mint.
Win XP has not been used for a long time.
Linux Mint was doing fine, until some weeks ago.
The system was still booting, but was crashing more often every day.
Now I cannot boot into Linux at all. I get kernel panics.
But I can also not boot into Windows any more.
Only booting into Windows with safe mode works.
I have also created usb boot disks and even booting from those does not work. On other systems I can boot from the same usb disk, so the usb disk is fine.
I am glad I found the Ultimate Boot CD.
Put it on a usb disk and it works like a charm.
There are so many options that I don't know where to start.
Could anyone tell me what certainly could not be the problem?
Or what most likely will be the problem with my system?
Many thanks!
