    I installed Mandriva onto my one, and upon the initial reboot after install, I can't even get it to boot into the bios. I was able to load them to change the boot order back to the SSD, but the load into mandriva hung. After waiting 15 minutes for it to boot, I hard reset, and now it won't boot at all. The power button stays green, but the hd light only flashes for a half second and then, nothing. No BIOS, no nothing. The screen doesn't even do anything. WTF did I do, and how can I fix it?

    Do a blind reflash... that should fix it. There's a thread in this forum dedicated to that issue. It's called the Black screen of death. Just do a search.
