enter image description hereenter image description hereI have installed Linux Mint 17.3 Xfce via USB and then restarted w/out USB only to see BIOS. I changed the boot priority, changed BIOS to default, and nearly every other forum suggestion on here and Linux-Mint forum and still can't figure out what is wrong. I had Windows 7 but reformatted the disk and no longer have it. When I re-insert my Linux Mint installation USB and go through the Install Linux process from the Desktop, it does show that another OS exists (Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa). From what I've read, it appears that my BIOS HDD is not finding a boot file???

  • What partition or disk did you install to during the installation? What did you set the boot priority to? Do you have a UEFI BIOS? Did you install Mint in UEFI or legacy mode? What happens on boot? We need more information.

  • I edited my original post to include a photo of my partitions. I'm relatively new to Linux. I pretty much followed the installation prompts from the USB Linux Mint installation icon. My laptop is a 2011 Lenovo B575 that used to have Windows 7 (deleted after installing Linux) with 4mb RAM and 64-bit. My HDD is 320GB SATA. If I try to reinstall from the USB the prompt recognizes that a version of Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa already exists. I'm starting to thing there's an issue with only being able to restart computer and immediately it goes to BIOS. There is no secure boot option modify.

  • During the installation, does it ask about installing the GRUB bootloader? If so, what option did you specify?

  • Is it possible my HDD doesn't support UEFI? I do not have any Windows installed. All online suggestions direct me to doing stuff within Windows to convert from MBR to GPT. There isn't a Legacy Mode in my BIOS.

  • If your bios isn't UEFI, then don't worry about it. What concerns me most is that on the partition you have flagged as boot, only 4MB is in use. This is why I'm wondering on which partition did you install the GRUB bootloader.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
