Hi, I recently tried to install Mint on my Dell Inspiron 3501, choosing the “install linux alongside Windows Boot Manager”. I partitioned my hard drive and then went into personalization, the installer crashing when I deleted the pre-determined name for my computer.

I decided to just restart and now when I try to boot the usb it pops up with this. I am able to boot into windows, none of my files are gone, but my drive has been partitioned how I set it.

I should also note that my bios doesn’t have legacy boot, so I could be choosing the wrong file in the USB? This seems pretty concerning, though.

I fixed it

for future reference, I had to rename the grubx64.efi file to mmx64.efi and then boot from that
