Not booting on surface pro 3

Post by melp57 »

I installed lastest cinnamon on my surface pro 3, which already had Linux installed. I chose the option to erase disk and install cinnamon Mint. Upon rebooting, it just goes to bios setup.
Most distros I installed go to a boot menu.
How can I acheive this in Mint?

This usually happens if the 'Bio's/UEFI' can't find a boot-table drive, check the boot order and set the internal hard drive to first boot. This is presuming that Linux installed correctly. To check that its there boot up your Live media again and run

Code: Select all

lsblk
from the terminal.
