I recently accidentally deleted the partition on my laptop which had the OS on it which was Linux Mint 17. I discovered the problem when I restarted my computer and it won't boot up as it can't find OS.
Now I have given up hope of rescuing anything on the laptop and tried to install the latest Linux version. It seems to have completed installation successfully but won't boot up after I take out USB device as instructed. I'm assuming this has something to do with the unpartitioned space where my original OS was housed. I only have access to BIOS menu and can't figure out how to get laptop working again. I thought it would only be a matter of wiping it and installing new OS but not so.
Any help greatly appreciated. I can provide pics and model name of laptop if that is needed to solved problem.
