Hi kato181 Thanks for your instructions. However, You must forgive me, but as you can see from my "Signature Panel" I'm an ageing Linux Newbie. My knowledge for using the Terminal is very limited. Consequently, although I believe I am putting in your text to the terminal, I am puzzled as to What “e...

Hi peeps,
I have added Clems ppa for warpinator, and read the destructions, but am at a loss on how to get it installed. I have d/l the source code but as I'm no coder my grey cells aint working. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you select install alongside with other O/S as in dual booting?
In terminal, copy & paste the following command and post the result back here in between the code display </>
inxi -Fzx

the command is..
sudo fsck

Once you install mint, at the completion it will ask you to reboot, it should also tell you to remove the usb and press enter to continue. If it's starting back in live session then have you removed the bootable usb stick?

That's great. Remember to mark it as Solved

There are 3 desktop themes for Mint they are as follows..
Cinnamon
Mate
Xfce
Cinnamon is very resource hungry, Xfce as I stated is the less resource hungry and is more suited to users with lower specs.

Thunderbird remembers the folder you were in when you closed it down. When you open it again it will start in that folder. Just click on Inbox and close thunderbird down, then reopen and it will open in Inbox.

Why did you let windows make partitions on the drive for?
Disconnect all the hd's except for the new one. Boot into your bios and check to see if the drive is detected there. If it is then, boot into the live session and start gparted and see if the drive is recognised.

What is your actual question?

Looking at your machine specs, it's an old system using 2mg ddr2 ram. I don't know what version of mint 19.3 you are using, but with those bare minimum specs I'd switch back to 18.3 Xfce or mint 19.3 Xfce. How often did you have timeshift do a snap shot of your system? Where was it saved to? Install...
