    Mint won’t Boot.

    Thanks for your reply. I have looked at the link that you sent to me and I have no idea how to start or what to do. This is a complete foreign language to me . A couple of months ago I did look up what a grub is and some of the other “conjoined alphabets” to learn what they mean, but since I...

    macbook pro 13 mid 2009 reinstall

    I had installed Mint onto my Mac and it worked OK but after an update Mint would not even load. Thought I would strip the Mac of its OS and go completely with Linux. I watched some videos and it looked easy enough. Would not work. I then tried to remove Linux by removing the partition and Disk...
