JeremyB, you do tell me to do wonders. Every thing is back and working again. Thank you very very much.

Will reboot as soon as I have the opportunity and I'll keep you posted of the outcome. thank you. andrew@Antec-PC:~$ cd /lib/firmware/brcm && sudo wget https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/raw/master/brcm/BCM20702A1-0b05-17cb.hcd [sudo] password for andrew: --2021-10-10 15:24:...

Came back like a charm. Seem to work fine, it pairs fast but it will not connect. It pairs to my headphone fine but won't connect. The mouse pairs and connect OK it seem that audio/headphone/speakers won't connect after pairing. Anything I still need to do to make this work? Thanks.

I had been tinkering to install a Bluetooth 5 adapter for some time and still no success, but in the mean time I think I cleared up everything and I suppose the original Bluetooth control panel as well. How do I get ti back if it is possible without reinstalling the OS. Any suggestions? Thanks.

AndyMH, Thank you for your patience. The outcome is as expected: success now I have a boot sector on my mint disk.
You saved my life from having to re-install everything. I will remember all you taught me. Thanks again.

AndyMH, this explanation is as clear as day and you taught me me so much this time. I will follow your instruction and keep you posted about the outcome which I am sure will be bright. Thank you.

My Windows drive where the boot sector is is on /dev/sdb and the mint drive is on /dev/sdc.

This is the result when I typed:
mint@mint:~$ sudo grub-install /dev/sdb

I think I spoke too soon, my problem is not resolved yet as I thought it was. As I mentioned earlier I have a dual boot Windows 7 on one drive and Linux Mint on another drive. The boot sector is on the Windows drive. It used to use grub to give me the boot menu though. Changed the boot drive to the ...

Thank you Larry78723. Now I know how it's done. I used to add -Resoled at my last post and thought that's how it is supposed to be done, my mistake and thank you for correcting me.

Never mind it is resolved. Had to change the boot drive in the bios. Thanks very much, it was fast and easy. Learned something new.

It seems I have successfully cloned and resized my larger drive. Took out the old drive and rebooted. It boots straight to Windows. As I mentioned before the boot sector is on the drive where windows is installed. What do I need to do now.
Thanks

Thanks for the info and suggestions AndyMH. I will do as you described and keep you posted about the result.

I am back to my 5.4 kernel. I have decided that the supplier provide me with some kind of step by step instruction sheet or I'll ask for a refund. They confirmed that this adapter works with Linux but I never in my life expected that you have to be a hardware/software linux engineer to make it work....

No I have not. Maybe it is time to give up. If it is over your head for you, imagine what it looks like to me. Anyway thank you very much for your interest, suggestions and help. A Shame that it did not work after so much of your time.

Here is one of the readme.txt that came with the adapter: =============== TITLE =============== The document describes how to support Realtek Bluetooth UART and USB driver in Linux system. =============== REQUIREMENT =============== The supported kernel version is 2.6.32 - 5.7.1 ====================...

Done.
