Why is it that picture two (my screens) doesn't list any hdd in uefi mode?.

Next time I try to boot the USB in legacy mode - maybe that is a reason - that would have been smart - I admit
#VENTOY MBR OR GPT INSTALL#
Now, I just managed to install Mint XFCE (Still my favorite) in traditional mode, despite the alert messages by the GUI installer. Though as not requested, didn't intended to provide instructions.įirst off: thanks to each one of you for helping! Don't know about HP.įor installing in GPT Legacy mode OP needs to create 1MB unformatted partition and set bios_grub flag in Something Else phase of installation.

I was referring to the USB boot option which is provided often by Dell BIOS on F12. >and would have to be quite mistaken if that were an installer-provided choice these days Grub's stage 1.5 is embedded there in that case - but as far as I'm aware poster would still need to set that up quite manually. BIOS/GPT requires a small BIOS boot partition, often created as the first partition between sectors 34 and the start of a first "real" partition in sector 2048, with type 0xef02. While that's true, I'm not sure that answers a question, and would have to be quite mistaken if that were an installer-provided choice these days. Unlike Windows which doesn't allow to install in legacy mode on GPT formatted disk, you can install Linux Mint in legacy mode on GPT disk
