Booting  issue on raspberry Pi 2

Former Member

I just installed Windows 10 IOT on a raspberry Pi 2. Now i am unable to boot with the NOOBS or OPENELEC SD card.

It only boots with the windows 10 IOT SD card.

    Are you saying you have multiple cards and only the one with Win 10 will now boot? Or that you created a Win 10 card, then tried to re-image it with noobs and open elec?


    If it is multiple cards, did the others ever boot?


    There is nothing permanent that occurs on the Ras Pi when you boot from different SD cards with diverse operating systems, so if it boots from win 10, the hardware should be good and the problem would be with the noobs and openelec images or the way that they are written to the SD card.


    Give a few more details and we'll see if we can get you going.

    The Linux enthusiasts like to blame Microsoft for TRYING to make dual-boot Linux-windows PCs unbootable, or at least no longer able to boot Linux. But as Mike has said: that's physically impossible on the raspberry pi. Try making a new SD card image for NOOBS.

    Yes, I have 3 cards.

    1. noobs card

    2.openelec card

    3. IOT windows 10 card

     

    Everything was working fine. I was able to boot with the openelec card or

    the noobs card.

    Then i created a windows10 iot card. I booted the pi2 with the iot card,

    everything works. I shut down.

    I then try to boot with openeclec sd card, it get gets to the rainbow

    screen and nothing.

    I put back the IOT card in the pi2 and it rebooted. I again shut down.

    I then try to boot with the noobs sd card and nothing happen.

     

    I installed both the openelec and noob cards in a different pi. They booted

    just fine.

     

    It is baffling that on the pi2, the IOT card is the only one that can be

    booted.

    It seems to me that the IOT card did something to the pi2.

    Well, as has been said before, the raspberry pi DOES NOT have ANY storage onboard. So there is NO WAY that windows can "break" your raspberry pi to make the Linux-cards unbootable.

     

    Because you say "pi2" when you refer to the one that runs "IOT and no linux", I'm starting to wonder if  your NOOBS and openelec are up-to-date. If your SD cards are pre-pi2, the will not boot on the pi2.

     

    I know you said that before the noobs and openelec would boot. But can you humor me and boot one or both of them on the other pi and make sure that they are up-to-date? (I'm not sure how that goes on Openelec or Noobs. I run bare-bones raspbian).

    OK. So you have multiple cards. You say the other cards booted previously. Did they boot on the same pi? The original rpi's and the rpi2 may take different cards.

     

    Just because one booted on the b+ doesn't mean it will boot on the rpi2. As roger says, you may not have the current noobs and/or openelec for the pi2.

     

    I would go here

     

    https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/

     

    and dl the latest noobs, write it to a card and try again. As roger says there is nothing that win10 IOT can do to a separate card.

     

    Booting on the other pi and updating might work, but I'm not 100% sure. The best be would be to start from a fresh install.

     

    Hope this helps,
