Hi Flash

More details please! :)

Linux Mint comes in many flavors, which version
did you try to install :?:

What "states that the os failed to load" :?:

Are you attempting a dual boot with Windows :?:

What type of PC, Laptop, desktop :?:

Can you boot up the Live CD so we can do repairs :?:

If you can boot the live CD could you
give us the output of these commands

Run this in terminal[Menu->Terminal]

Code: Select all

sudo sfdisk -l
then run this in terminal

Code: Select all
