Operation System not found: MBR/Legacy machine

[SUPERFITTER]

I installed different versions of Linux on a Dell System Inspiron N7110.
After a reboot I received this message, Operation System not found.

Kernel: 6.8.0-51-generic
CPU: Intel i5-2410M (4) @ 2.900GHz
GPU: Intel 2nd Generation Core Proce
Memory: 776MiB / 5838MiB
The computer is a MBR/Legacy machine

I cannot find an answer to this problem?
Thank You

Hello @SUPERFITTER
Welcome tot rhe Linux.org forum.
Does that happen before or after you get the grub menu?
Some things to check make sure you have fast boot turned off if that machine has that
change the boot to Legacy instead of UEFI if it has that (I'm assuming your not trying to dual boot with Windows.)
make sure the disks are GPT or ACHI not something else.
This page maybe of help, it's for Mint but should be about the same for and .deb distro. https://foxclone.org/downloads/20230509-LM21_legacy.pdf
Good Luck

When you have time please run the Live version that you used to install Linux and post the output of this command.

sudo dmidecode -t 17
