Hello,
Recently I lost my job so I had to use my Windows 8.1 labtop to print a resume and found the experience to be painfully slow, so I decided to give Linux another try, I went with the Mint flavor.
Originally I wanted to keep both, windows and Linux but I did something wrong and I believe Mint wiped out the whole hard drive, not even sure if I still have the windows recovery partition. I wish I could reinstall Windows, but am okay with the lost if it is gone for good...
If someone could show me how to explore my current partitions using mint live usb and or reinstalling windows, that would be great...
But the main issue that I am having is that after a successful install of Mint, it won't boot...
Where do I go from here...
How to fix GRUB, how do I know if I have bios active or the new standard?
Right now I am using the USB Mint Live to be on the net and post here...
