hi everyone! so like title says i am having some trouble installing linux.. well i installed it but.. well let me explain lol.
so after giving it some thought, i decided to try linux by going with Manjaro (it had boiled down to manjaro, ubuntu and mint). i create a bootable usb and successfully booted and wiped windows. problem is i was dead tired when i did it and didn't realize i i mixed up my hard drives when creating partitions. I wanted my SSD to be my /root and my 1tb HD to be /home (thanks to someone's tip on toms hardware
). so no big deal right ? i decided since i couldn't find a way to "switch" them, that i would simply reinstall.... yeah right. i can't, for the life of me make it boot from the usb again!!!!! it just keeps <mod edit> booting into manjaro lol !!!!! no matter what i do, i prioritize the boot order, disable fast boot, i even unplugged my hard drives lmao! Mind you, when i unplugged, it just wouldn't boot anything..... so then i figured the usb died, but before i can conclude that, i tell myself let me try one more test. So, i put a windows ISO on the usb and switched some settings around, and BOOM it loaded windows. IT'S ALIVE!!!! So i decide it was maybe the iso i had and decide to switch completely and go with Mint but i am faced with the same problem!! please help me! as frustrated as i am, i am taking it well and laughing with myself because i know there is a solution out there lolol
