  1. Thanks for the advice. However it looks like it is a hardware problem. I had to contact dell and they are going to replace the motherboard. My laptop is only two months old so I guess it came with some issue. Anyways they said they would get it back to me in about a week. Edit: seems like there was some strange power surge which caused this. I am really not sure. I am happy to have my laptop working again though 🙂
  2. HI have an Alienware m17 with a dual boot with parrotsec and windows 10. There were no clear problems before and I just went to turn on my computer just like any other time. For some reason it will not turn on. Anyone have any advice? Edit: My charger seems to be working fine. Also my laptop shows no lights and nothing on screen. It won’t turn on at all. I also looked at some troubleshooting guides online and none have worked so far.
  3. Okay so it looks like I finally got the issue fixed. The OS installed fine but there was a boot setting I needed to change in order for parrot to run. It is alright for now.😄
  4. The installation failed the first time I tried due to lack of space. Afterwards I put enough space and it installed fine. However every time I start parrotsec os it gives me this error. [ 0.423401] ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Failure creating [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.PRT4._GTF ], AE_ALREADY_EXISTS (20180810/dswload2-316) [ 0.423411] ACPI Error: AE_ALREADY_EXISTS, During name lookup/catalog (201808 10/psobject-221) [ 0.423415] ACPI Error: Skip parsing opcode Opcodename unavailable (20180810/ psloop-543) I do not know why it does this. The installation had no errors in it. My iso was not corrupted. Etcher was able to burn the iso onto my usb successfully. Yet every time I try to start parrot it shows the error above. Also I tried virtualbox with an ova file but that did not work. The only other way would be to go into live mode on an iso in virtualbox which means i cannot store files, it goes very slowly, and the screen is way too small. When I boot in ACPI off mode it has no errors and I am taken to some CLI. Is there any way I can fix it from there?
  5. Okay so it looks like this was a problem with partitioning. I installed parrotsec, but now I have new problem. So when I go into boot menu (F12 on my computer) it shows parrot and windows boot manager. Windows 10 seems to be working fine. When I go to parrot there is an error. I will press enter and it will show something like this (I could not put actual image here so I am just typing it in best I can) [ 0.423401] ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Failure creating [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.PRT4._GTF ], AE_ALREADY_EXISTS (20180810/dswload2-316) [ 0.423411] ACPI Error: AE_ALREADY_EXISTS, During name lookup/catalog (201808 10/psobject-221) [ 0.423415] ACPI Error: Skip parsing opcode Opcodename unavailable (20180810/ psloop-543) Honestly I panicked when I saw this. Then I realized Windows 10 was still okay, so I calmed down. Anyways if anyone knows what this is or advice on fixing it please reply bellow. I do not know what this this.
  6. If you read my previous post you will already know that I have a new Alienware m17 and that I am trying to perform a dual boot on it. I have decide to use parrotsec os instead. There is one step that keeps on going wrong for me and I do not know why. I will say what steps I did and see if anyone here can help me. I started by downloading the parrotsec os ISO file (the one on the right). I then used etcher to burn the ISO onto a usb. When it finished it said that it had been successful. I then booted my computer from the usb and went through all of the installation steps like normal. When the system was installing (which took quite some time) it stopped at around 80% and said that the installation had failed . I had to abort the installation. No data was effected negatively by this or anything and my Windows 10 OS is still fine but I am still confused what happened. I was thik that my partition size for the installation may not have been big enough (it was 11.6 GB). Anyways if any of guys could give some advice it would be greatly appreciated .
  7. Okay so it looks like it was a problem with my USB. I was able to have a parrotsec iso file burned onto a USB with etcher pretty well. Looks like the problem is gone for now.
  8. I forgot to mention this before but if any of you are wondering I did disable secure boot for this.
  9. Recently I got a new Alienware M17 which I have really enjoyed.😊 Currently I just have Windows 10 Home but I want to do a dual boot with Kali Linux. I have been having trouble setting this up lately. I will say what I did step by step and see if anyone knows what to do. First I created a disk partition I intend on using for kali than I I downloaded a Kali Linux iso file from their downloads page. After the kali iso had finished downloading I went and downloaded the Universal USB Installer. I plugged in my USB and began burning the kali iso to the USB. After I was finished with that I booted my computer from the USB and was greeted with the installation page for Kali Linux. I chose the graphic installer option and chose my language and region. Then when it got to the part when it was trying to mount the USB it said it was unable to do so. I had to abort the installation afterwards. I was thinking it may be a problem with my USB as I had already burned another iso (parrotsec OS) onto it and tried to burn the kali onto the USB regardless. Anyways I want to see if any of you have any advice for what I should do in order to successfully dual boot my laptop.
