@rfharabin,
Thank you for providing all the details.
Your motherboard is quite new, however it does not contain the new firmware that I was trying to look for.
All your information are clear now..
Based on your earlier post on the below:
Now what I would like you to try is to install LMDE's grub, which should have been already in your /dev/sde1 onto the MBR of the WD external hard disk.
These are the steps :
1. No change on all your setup.
2. Boot computer, F9, select Patriot 32 GB 150 MH to run LM17cinnamon
3. Open a terminal, type this code just to confirm on the location of LMDE
it should give you exactly like before
5. next code, remember this, it is /dev/sde at the end of the code , there is no number after the character e
please capture the terminal results and post here.
if you read something like this
choose the WD 1200BB External
and see what happen.
