Both boot to Linux fine on other older laptops, but I can't get the Pro to boot off them. Now I learned that it was a huge mistake. It will take a while to boot, maybe a minute or longer. Until then, you can access our new content on either as you do today, or at our new site. I've been down this path way too many times to screw around with it more.
Looks like its a dud and won't work now. I got confused with the volume rocker before. By now we all know that computers are doomed to fail, no one knows when, but is going to happen. Pardon the image, although I think the faux sunburst is a nice touch. Tags: , , Comment from Ranjeet Bassi Time December 26, 2012 at 8:26 am If you were to do a recovery on the Microsoft surface, I would highly recommend getting Network attached storage that will allow you to get its network address. I hope it works for you! Will this revert the surface to 8 or 8. Is there any other way of recovering? Did anyone have a similar problem or even a fix? This refers to the current operating system installed on your Surface.
When it was 8, we had accessed the bios fine. Press and hold the volume-down rocker. Didn't work on the Pro either. Press and hold the volume-down button while you press and release the power button. When the Surface logo appears, release the volume-down button. Otherwise, you could try going to the Settings app, Update and recovery, Recovery, and choosing the Restart Now button under Advanced Startup. Surface restarts and the Surface logo appears while the reset process continues this can take several minutes.
Press and release the power button. No spinning circle on boot and Recovery drive is not working. I power it on while holding volume down, release volume down after logo and the usb light flickers a few times and then surface turns off. For example, if you are recycling your Surface, you should clean the drive. When the Surface logo appears, release the volume-down button. Does anyone know how to boot to an alternate device without going through windows and reboot? Let us know if you need further assistance. We will continue bringing you the same great content, from the same great contributors, on our new platform.
Note the architecture, Arm 32-bit At best it may have a bootloader, but I don't see any information about accessing that either. Have you tried the following steps? When prompted, select the language and keyboard layout you want. Once the surface logo appears, wait for circling dots to appear and then hold power for 6-10 seconds to turn device off again. I have the recovery usb formatted as fat32, with the recovery image for rt on it. I was thinking of doing a factory reset.
Select Yes, repartition the drives. Plug the Surface into the Power Supply. I'm trying to repair it following the steps that Microsoft has posted on their website. If prompted for a recovery key, select Skip this drive at the bottom of the screen. Have you got yours fixed t all yet? My device had just restarted and I get in this strange mode. Why are we doing this? The only problems is now that we have updated the device we can no longer get into the bios. You need a version of Ubuntu that is 12.
Now the recovery usb won't bother booting. On the TechCommunity site, you will find numerous technical communities across many topics, which include discussion areas, along with blog content. The option to clean the drive is more secure but takes much longer. It works on other devices but not on mine. I tried the procedure volume down + on and nothing.
The option to clean the drive is more secure but takes much longer. If you are keeping your Surface, you just need to remove your files. I hope this was useful to you and saves you time in the future. It might depend on how your drive is formatted. Seems like it's a known issue.
Select the operating system you want to reset. The drive I have is for complete system restore. Seems like it is just not provisionedā¦. If you actually managed to scratch the Gorilla Glass screen, it sounds like the device may have been pretty abused. Then tap Create a Recovery Drive when the Recovery window appears. I really don't know what is the problem.
Called support and the first thing they tell me is I am 2 weeks past the warranty. Choose either Just remove my files or Fully clean the drive. Then they proceeded to waste a huge amount of time asking super basic questions. For example, if you are recycling your Surface, you should clean the drive. When prompted, select the language and keyboard layout you want. So if your still having issues, try that. Surface restarts and the Surface logo appears while the reset process continues this can take several minutes.
