I purchased a Dell XPS730 but not in the US, and yes it confused me why the LightFX was not mentioned at all in the manuals and then I find this forum, and voila, it is clear other countries selling the Dell XPS 730 are not advertising that they have LightFX available at all.
Hello people!This is my first time ever even approaching Linux. I've been getting more and more sick of windows ever since 98; I want to wipe my hard drive but really hate windows 8. I decided on Linux Mint Cinnamon 64-bit after about a day of research, but have since struggled through hours of not being able to get my liveboot USB to function.I should start with relevant system information I think (though I'm sure I will be missing stuff - let me know how/what else I need to list):Existing OS: Windows Vista 64-bit Home PremiumModel: Dell XPS 630iProcessor: 4 cores of Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHzBIOS: Dell 1.0.13RAM: 6.00 GBGPU: NVidia Geforce 9800GTSo, I decided to try livebooting from a USB stick I had laying around. Suprisingly though, when I inserted it into my computer I was getting a 'Please insert disk into drive' whenever I tried to open the drive. So the flash drive was visible on my computer, but I had no way to access the storage on it. I did some troubleshooting, and reformatted it using some junky JetFlash software that got it open. But before I put the Cinnamon ISO on it, I reformatted again using the HP USB reformatting tool.
Then, I used Rufus to load the ISO onto the USB. I have no idea if using all these different usb-formatting software is a problem (do they conflict?), but maybe even starting with a bad one was a problem too.Anyhow, I tried booting up, tried all the nomodeset and set my boot order to USB Device and disable my floppy drive and the like.
But no matter what I do (I finally used nomodeset nosplash) to figure this out, I end up with an error of ' rootfs image is not initramfs (LZMA data is corrupt); looks like an initrd' Now, before I reformat and load the ISO onto my poor flash drive for the 5th time, I'd like to know if this is a fixable problem. Do flash drives ever permanently malfunction? How would I know if mine has that issue? Sorry, should have noticed the Vista. The flash drive is your problem, obviously.
Where did you buy it? That's the LAST place anyone should buy flash. Sadly, although good vendors are there, many are selling 'fake' USB flashdrives.
You can even read about it on Ebay itself, There's also testing software mentioned you can use to test the drive. If you bought the flash in a major big box store seller, chances are that it's OK, but even that can't always be certain, however the big stores do buy direct from factory and shouldn't have the same problem with their flash.If the flash is OK, then use Disk Manager in your Vista to completely delete what's on the drive and format it to FAT32. Next use Universal USB Installer at Pendrivelinux.com to load the USB flashdrive with the version of Mint 17 you want. There are several desktop options and those are divided between 32 bit and 64 bit types.Also, remember to run md5sum check on the ISO you downloaded, often enough people get a bad download and that messes things up from not booting properly to actually installing, but having odd glitches. Okay I've determined that it's not my USB drive. I tried the liveboot on my friend's computer, and it works fine. I'm thinking it must be my computer then.
But how can the computer cause a data corruption error on the liveboot USB drive? I have little to no knowledge of how boots actually work, but is there some interaction with internal components that could cause that? Is it possible that either my motherboard or graphics card has some sort of damage, causing the boot error?Just to rerun, I've tried:a. 3 different mirrors for downloading the ISO (all md5sum checked successfully, using winmd5 and md5sum.exe)b. 3 different software for formatting hard drive (HP usb formatter, Rufus, and Pendrivelinux)c. 3 different software for installing OS onto USB (same 3 as above, different orders sometimes)After the livebootUSB worked on my friends computer, this leads me to believe it must be a problem inherent to my computer. However, I do not know what that would be.
My only clue is this error: 'rootfs image is not initramfs (LZMA data is corrupt); looks like an initrd'Also, my graphics card has had issues in the past (randomly crashing during intensive use, i.e. Gaming, video streaming - although temps are normal: under 75degCelc)I've also tried modifying the boot command line (by hitting Tab in the boot menu with Start Linux Mint selected) through different combinations of nomodeset, nvidiamodeset=0, nvidia.noaccel=1, and nosplashPlease.I just want this to work TT. PatH57 wrote:boot from usb, press a key and you should see a menu with memtest run it for an hour at least.The memtests won't run from usb. And I tried using ultimate boot cd, but my computer won't recognize it as a boot device. I burned it onto the disk using Active ISO Burner, with no problems.
But when I select Optical Drive it doesn't seem to recognize there's anything there.I will run the regular BIOS' tests again. (from the F12 menu where I can select boot devices). Also, I'll try dell's support website's diagnostics as well.

I guess that's a relief. I find someone else with this problem, he goes into depth on it. I know what I'd do.
I'd give up on the 64 bit system and go for the 32 bit system instead. Because I don't think there's much to be done about it unless a developer has a fix for it. It could be something caused by a glitch that doesn't work for your BIOS but different coding in your friend's computer's BIOS handles it OK. You could try changing some BIOS settings like turning ACPI on or off and see if that changes things. There are different implementations of ACPI and some have had problems in the past, even with windows XP, which defaults to a standard PC setting on install when that happens.That doesn't mean for sure yours is BIOS related, but offering that as a possibility to check out. On such a newer computer I suspect it's NOT the problem, but worth giving a try.Secondly, I'd download the USB Universal Installer from pendrivelinux.com site and run it in your Vista to setup the flashdrive for Linux.
