The image was created as you outline - the hard drive was hooked up via a USB to SATA adapter. The image was written correctly as I can boot with issue using this hard drive (in the SATA interface) on my i5 machine. As mentioned, I was just hoping I could get the ACER running AROS as I'm hoping at some point to make it into a tablet format (the keyboard is damaged but it has a good size screen which I can source a 4-wire resistive overlay for).

Cheers,

Underneath AROS Portable is Ubuntu, which runs Qemu. If it does not boot, it means that the hardware is not compatible with this Ubuntu.

OK, that would make sense, I have tried to boot Unbuntu on this machine and it failed.

Cheers,
Nigel.

Not sure if my other post made it...

I tried both versions of the distribution and both error out with a flashing screen that reads "Reset System". I am using an HP laptop that currently runs Windows 11. Any ideas on how to fix this?

This appears to be a known issue with Ubuntu and some HP laptops:

Unfortunately, I don't have HP hardware to test it myself. If you find a way to make Ubuntu work, AROS Portable should work too.
