[QUOTE="RonD, post: 1291268, member: 117536"] some of this is just stuff to try, mainly sanity check 1. can you boot the windows repair USB on a different windows computer? sanity check that the repair USB is clean/works. 2. on linux, does the "gparted" partition tool show any sign of the EMMC drive? maybe try "lsblk" or "lsblk -f" to see what drives linux finds, or "lshw" if the commands are installed. Some web browser search time might be needed to figure out what the commands do. 3. Are the motherboard "CMOS settings" messed up? search for "motherboard CMOS reset" to see how this works on other motherboards. There might be some tiny print on the motherboard that show what jumpers to use. 4. Is the motherboard CMOS battery dead (CR2032?? etc)? Maybe unplug all cables, power, hdmi, usb, etc, make a cup of coffee/tea, wait 5 minutes, and plug the cables back in (power last). When was the last time the battery was replaced? [/QUOTE]
