    How to boot Linux Mint Cinnamon installed on a new partion?


    How to boot Linux Mint Cinnamon installed on a new partion?

    My desktop machine:
    Acer aspire T3 715
    CPU Intel Core i5-6400
    DDR4-SDRAM 8GB 2133MHz
    GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950
    SSD 128GB running Windows 10 Home 64b. 22H2
    One 3.5" HDD D-drive capacity 1.0TB

    The Boot Options of the BIOS:
    How to boot Linux Mint Cinnamon installed on a new partion?-673-2z.jpg

    This is what I have done:
    1. Ran Cinnamon USB live bootable.
    2. Created a new partition on the 3.5 HDD, 100GB of the 500GB free space.
    3. Have tried many times to boot the Cinnamon, but found no such a boot option.

    Please help and point out where to find the Cinnamon boot option ?

    Thank you.

    In the Bios, go to the Security tab and Disable Secure Boot.
    Under the Boot tab, Enable Launch CSM. Save and Exit

    That will show you the Linux partition on the HDD.

    You have already posted this thread: New partition is not in BIOS

    You first have to install Linux Mint.
    You think you did Install Linux Mint but you didn't.
    Linux can't be installed on a NTFS partition. You must boot from a Linux Mint USB drive and install it to a unallocated space.

    This explains why I can not find the newly created partition anywhere in the boot options section of the BIOS.
    Windows boot manager does not recognize whatever that is written on the new partition.
    Am I right?

    We have already explained many times but you refuse to understand:
    - BIOS don't recognize partitions. It does recognize drives and it doesn't care about partitions and / or format types.
    - Windows has its own Boot Manager. Linux also has its own Boot Manager (Grub).
    - The BIOS boot options list the boot managers on the computer. You can't see the Linux boot manager because you didn't install Mint.
    - You first have to install Linux Mint to see it on the BIOS boot options.
    - You think you did Install Linux Mint but you didn't.
    - Linux can't be installed on a NTFS partition. You must boot from a Linux Mint USB drive and install it to a unallocated space.
