Missing wireless firmware

The hard drive needs to be formatted and you need to have the boot order set to the 1 usb 2 hard drive in the bios.Also make sure your installation files on the USB aren't corrupt.The USB needs to be formatted before the installation files are loaded on to it.Make sure your laptop is Windows 10 capable.I think it should be loaded with Windows 7 first then maybe upgraded to Windows 10.Here is a link for tools you may need to get Windows 7 on the laptop after having Linux installed......(https://www.asus.com/Laptops/Eee_PC_1225B/HelpDesk_Download/).....Hope this helps

sounds like the Hard drive doesnt have a operating system installed (seller may have wiped or replaced the harddrive), or the hard drive is damaged or missing(removed), - you would need a install dvd for windows or a bootable or installer dvd for linux . and replace the harddrive if it is damaged or missing

the Bootable disk its talking about
is its next attempt at starting a operating system from a cd,dvd or usb source after trying for a harddrive startup- but failing to find an operating system

Well desktops don't typically have wireless cards so clearly it will not work on the desktop. Most flavors of Linux will work with no extra work once installed on a system. I've installed Ubuntu Linux on dozens of laptops without any problems. My advice is to just install it on the laptop.
If you have installed a wireless pci or usb card in the desktop you would probably want to check the manufacturer site to see if they have linux drivers available or use modprobe to extract them from the card.

1. Reinstall OS ESPECIALLY XP service pack 3
2.Go Online to http://driverscollection.com, download an update your PC Bios and download other drivers.
3. Do not forget to install Antivirus(Avast).

did you physically install another hard drive? if so set the jumpers to cable select if this does not work try make drive c the master and drive d the slave.
if you havent physically installed another drive then the d drive was only a partition so c drive is all there is.
hope this helps.

Does you machine produce any error messages?
One of the programs you installed is probably causing the freezes.
Try to identify any programs that freeze when you try to run them.
Uninstalling the program should help solve the problem.

You can not rule out viruses though

Usually the installer should have a function to allow you to wipe the disk, or delete partitions.

If it doesn't, and you do not care about the hard disk content, and it is acceptable to wipe out the entire hard disk, you can do so in Linux.

(There is a utility which will do everything for you - Darik's Boot and Nuke, you find it at http://www.dban.org/ . I'm also giving you the "manual" instructions below, though).

Boot with Ubuntu Live, open Terminal, become root with 'su'.

Now you need to know how your disk is "seen" by Linux. Since you only have the one disk and nonexistent disks will fail, we can try all the likely hard disk names. The first command that does NOT fail saying "No such device" is the good one:

fdisk /dev/sda
fdisk /dev/hda
fdisk /dev/cciss/c0d0
fdisk /dev/rd/c0d0
fdisk /dev/ida/c0d0

One of these commands (likely the first or second) will give you a menu ending in "Command (m for help)". type "p" and press Enter to list partitions; there should be only one and it should be a Linux type, probably 83. If it isn't, stop - something's wrong. But it should be.

The first column will say something like "/dev/sda3". Note the number at the end, here "3". You'll likely have "1".

Now type, "d" and press Enter. You'll be asked which partition to delete. Type the same number you saw earlier. Type "w" and Enter to save changes and exit. Type "q" and Enter to exit without changes. The partition can still be recovered, but the disk is now "unlocked".

Reboot and install the OS of your choice. The previous hard disk contents will be permanently lost, and you'll get a shiny new empty partition with a working OS.

You can also erase the disk without using fdisk (but you still need to know how it's named, and for that you can use fdisk) by typing

dd if = /dev/zero of = /dev/sda bs=1M count = 12

Here we suppose the disk turned out to be /dev/sda.

This will write twelve megabytes of zeroes to the beginning of the disk, effectively wiping any OS information there could be there. All disk data are as good as lost. The disk is now, to all installing purposes, a perfect blank. Reboot and install the OS of your choice.

Just for the record, omitting "count" will zealously wipe out the whole hard disk surface, all partitions, all data, irretrievably (except using residual hysteresis detection equipment - doubt if even NSA would take the trouble). This can be handy when decommissioning computers.

The problem tat u r facing is tat after the format the drivers of your wireless card is missing.u need to know the name and the brand of the wireless card u r using,,and install the drivers again,,u might have a cd called resource cd from ur computer manufacturer,,that contains the drivers,,or u can call up tec suppoort of your manufacturer to know the name of the wireless card and how to download the drivers from the net,,best of luckk,a good rating plz

first u install correct driver then u start ur wireless LAN ur LAN driver must be be not correct ok
first do this
then post ur result

I am currently using Linux on a Compaq C500 with a Broadcom wireless adapter. Sounds like your wireless adapter is on of the ones that uses the b43 module like mine.

Aside from using the correct module, you also need a firmware image. Instructions can be found at: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43

Hope this helps and good luck with Linux! Once you fully switch to Linux you'll never go back to crappy M$ products!
