That's okay! I appreciate the help ... everyone.Went a looked at my Mint 18 and they relocated Terminal to Administration now.
Glad you were able to get it.
Haven't tried the Windows 10 OS startup repair. Having a hard time trying to get the download on to my thumb-drive. I keep getting an error message. Barely understand how to use W 10. Linux seems even more difficult.
Something else to try if you are unable to get the machine going with linux.
- Download the Ultimate Boot CD for windows.
- Or the FalconFour CD
- Start the video below at 53 minutes.
- Follow the instructions for using the Ultimate Boot CD.
- Run the Fix HDC Hard Drive Controller fix...
I do remember that, and that is the selection that I made. There was another selection that I made that generated a warning so I went back, selected another option and then finished the install. That may have been where I screwed up, but I can't remember any of the particulars.Did you get an option to install Linux alongside Linux? You should've gotten a screen similar to below:
All *nix installs besides Gentoo and Arch include a screen similar to above.
Ok then apparently my keyboard can not spell tonight.
Try typing this
sudo update-grub
Sorry about that.
Try typing this
sudo update-grub
Sorry about that.
I mean if you are unable to get windows 10 to boot, UltimateBoot Cd or FalconFour can repair your MBR.
Oops! Sorry for my misunderstanding, and again, thank you.
By the way, I'm, currently, back in business, w-Windows 10!!
It worked, Rusty. Thank you very much. Thanks to all of you that helped me. I really do appreciate it.Ok then apparently my keyboard can not spell tonight.
