Install media shows mint as being on the HDD, after resetting boot priority I get an error saying no OS is on the HDD, windows was installed but I wiped it during the install.

show your BIOS settings

#

is it listing in BOOT order thing, Linux Mint, or Ubuntu, or just hard drive name?

#

Just hard drive name

#

But if I go into manual EFI boot I see Ubuntu, but am unable to load the file

radiant moat
#

did you get it, @lime mulch ?

#

Will try to in a min

#

Got gf aggro

#

just move the flags in gparted

#

and no esp flag

lime mulch
#

So I have sda1 as the fat32

#

And sda2 as ext4

#

"Gpt detected, please create a bios partition"

#

And gparted has the new partition option greyed out

radiant moat
#

just check also in the DISKS app

#

for sda, what does it say for partition style, near the top?

Did you complete, @lime mulch ?

Not really, taking a look at the partitions it seems mint install is installing to the extra space on the flash drive rather than the HDD of the laptop it's plugged into, I have a 65 gig flash that I used the windows program to flash with the mint iso

#

I'm not sure why it's doing what it's doing

radiant moat
#

can you show a clear picture of gnome-disks app with the HDD selected?

lime mulch
#

Can do that tomorrow, apologies for not having a lot of time today, gf has required a lot form me 😛

radiant moat
#

alrighty

any progress on this, @lime mulch ?
