Help with lakka please!!!

xXxSwagnemitexXx · Mar 17, 2018

I installed lakka and now I want to install Windows 10, so I made a boot able USB with rufus and tried to load windows 10, but when I chose to boot from USB it showed me a black screen with a blinking underscore. I tried again, same results, tried with Windows 8.1 same again, tried with Ubuntu and I got the flashing underscore once again. I tried to use DBAN to erase my hard drive but as you can guess, it was the flashing underscore

Please help, I think its a problem with lakka but I'm not really sure

If the PC you're formatting doesn't have UEFI, and the one you made the USB with does (or vice versa), make sure you picked MBR in Rufus (for a legacy PC), or GPT (for a newer PC with UEFI) accordingly. Also, make sure that you don't have secure boot enabled if you do have UEFI.
