Getting pissed off won't help though will it? I suggest you read this - basically you need to ensure the boot loader was installed correctly, which I suspect it wasn't:

Re: Selected boot device not available
This is a basic GRUB / USB question for which I'd dearly like to know the answer, too.Traxxasred wrote:Alright. So where should I install the boot loader to?
I think I'm messing up my installs by putting the boot loader in the wrong spot.
I don't think Installer has a Help note about it during the install process, either. It should.
I'm unhooking my hard drive, to ensure neither I nor the Installer messes with it.
This simplifies and speeds up the install process, too.

It is suggested that as this is a volunteer run forum, you might be more patient, or if no answer is forthcoming then hunt it down yourself. Or perhaps you should "ask for your money back". Or you might even want to consider paying for support if you don't feel like you are getting it at the forum. You can in fact pay for support by arranging this at the Mint website: http://linuxmint.com/support.phpTraxxasred wrote:The lack of knowledge on such a seemingly simple problem is frustrating.
In fact, the answer to your question is well written in the link I provided above in my first response to you, in the "Booting via Grub" section.

Traxxasred,
If you are willing to put a bit of time into this and be patient with me, I will get you up and running. Don't tell me you will if you aren't willing to follow through. Just say no thanks and I'll be happy to let it go.
