2 days agoWhat are you using to partition the drive? Avoid partitioning it yourself; use InstallAROS, which will do everything automatically.
If you’re using InstallAROS, then the hard drive might be faulty.

2 days agoBefore proceeding with the installation, you ran Wipe Disk; you might want to run it twice, as there may still be a Linux bootloader on the hard drive.

I try it multiple times but the same I also erased the disk with gparted live and tried with the disk as unallocated and as fat32 but the same . there must be some kind of remain of grub bootloader beacause even with erased the disk it tries to boot and get this screen

2 days agoThat’s what I thought; sometimes InstallAROS doesn’t manage to wipe the drive properly. Try using a partition management programme and select the ‘Wipe’ function, see the screenshot. You can do this for just the first few gigabytes, then perhaps wipe the partition again.
This method definitely works, just make sure the hard drive is completely free of partitions at the end!

10 hours agoCheck if you can see the drive in HDToolBox and post a screenshot of that. The drive may not be unit 0.

trying to install in a usb target leads to the same fail , something in netbook is not compatible although it has native graphics and sound , at the moment I installed Aeros which works fine , I'd prefer ofcourse AROS but anyway , I also tried Icaros but the result same
