I'm trying to get Linux mint cinnamon on to my pc but after I install it, it won't boot up unless it's from the memory stick. Like another post I saw, but the difference is that I asked it to delete all the partitions and just have linux on there. My computer is an Asus laptop 64 bit with 32Gb of SD card space instead of a hard drive. Booting to this option is missing from the BIOS now, although I can see the (C:) drive from Linux. Although I don't think it's called C: anymore.
I tried putting in some of the commands that I saw in the forums to see what's going on and the output is below. The Toshiba is the memory stick. There appears to be an error but I don't know what it means or what to do about it. I'm a complete beginner and totally out of my depth. Please help.
