Can't boot LM from disk

Post by psventek »

This is the fourth PC I've tried to load LM on, and it's the first that has me completely stymied.

Booting from LM 18.2 USB only gave me a black screen. A user on this forum who had a video card older than mine suggested trying LM 18.1. That worked, but put the machine into Software Rendering Mode which would allow me to install a Nvidia driver, and after a reboot, I got two good screens with proper font and no Software Rendering Mode.

Installed LM 18.1 to disk, dual boot with Win 10. When I try to boot now, the machine simply goes straight into Windows 10, no Grub screen.

Any ideas how to get around this would be greatly appreciated.
