Linux Boot

Yesterday I installed Linux Mint on a IDE HDD but now the disk is not recognized and I cannot boot from it. Any suggestions on getting it to load in the boot menu?

I went to disk management to make the disk active or initialize it but that was not a option for the disk it is on. The disk it is on has not drive path assigned to it either and it does not give me a option to a change letter or path.

HELP

 

Maybe use the mint live portion of the distro to run gparted and see if you can do anything from there.

 

View attachment 235288 Maybe I also should have mentioned this would be in a dual boot scenario with Windows 10.

 

https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/easybcd.html give this a try...oh and I did make the assumption that this was a dual boot since you mentioned disk management...

 

Thank you plodr exactly what I needed to know. Google dos not always pull up what i need. Thanks again!

 

I can see I got this one totally wrong...lol...thx plodr for setting both of us on the right track...I apologize to Hacked for any misinformation I may have provided...
