Facing problems with linux installation on NP550P5C-S03IN
Hello everyone....
I got NP550P5C - S03IN few weeks back, i tried installing opensuse in my laptop but had some issues of not booting from disc and from usb but i had it fixed.
But again i'm in serious trouble when i installed openSUSE in my laptop, it stop booting from harddrive and even in bios setup my harddisk was not appearing under boot priority option, to confirm the problem i did a fresh install of windows 7 and then the harddisk again appeared and laptop booted windows 7.
I tried 3 more different linux Fedora17, Linux Mint and Debian Linux, the same problem persisted with every linux, whenever i installed them, the installation went correctly without any problem or error but when i restarted to boot linux it didn't boot instead it went into bios setup and there i again saw that under boot priority option my harddisk was not appearing.
Does anyone have any idea about my problem?, please help me out, i'm a linux/pc user since very long time and its really hard to so suddenly switch to windows 8.
and yes please just to mention whenever i installed linux i did not dual boot with windows instead i first formatted my whole harddrive then created the linux partitions, and installed fresh copy.
Please help me out !!

When i formatted my original windows.. i disabled secure boot and change the "UEFI" boot mode to "UEFI and CSM" boot mode... still when installed opensuse it was not booting...
There are three boot modes available:
CSM OS
UEFI OS
CSM and UEFI OS
I'm presently booting on 3rd one that is- CSM and UEFI OS
now which boot mode should i choose to boot linux ?

Ok tried taking the screen bezel off got it off the top and sides but can't remove the bottom edge or more to the point the lower corners and hinge , does anyone know how to remove the screen .
Re: Facing problems with linux installation on NP550P5C-S03IN
Ok, so since you got Windows 8 PC, they have removed the option to disable UEFI boot. Since I got Windows 7 PC, I have Arch Linux running fine. This link might help a bit: You'll be able to install Linux on most Windows 8 PCs If you do find a working solution but have issues you could drop by any of the linux distro channels on IRC freenode network freenode Web IRC (qwebirc).

IDK But they make worst-est drives ever in HDD History!
Hi, Has anybody tried formatting Windows 8 & then using WIN 7 ULTIMATE 64 BIT edition to use as Default OS for the Samsung NP550P5C-S03IN Laptop. If yes then what is the procedure to do the same. ALso can you make a copy of the Pre-installed WIN 8 64 BIT on a USB HDD or a BACKUP of it. Pls help me on the same as i am very new here.
