From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

trying to dual boot laptop (paste.ubuntu.com)

I decided to go with Linux mint for my laptop. After installing it alongside windows 10, it won't boot into either. If I reboot from my USB stick, it says that maybe it's too far away from the start of the drive to be detected. But I believe there is some intel /hp stuff that includes some kind of boot that might also be interfering. Does anyone have a good way forward from here?

Could be you need to set boot partition EFI in BIOS, or could be a recovery partition messing things up for you

How would I check on that?

Do you know if you installed in legacy BIOS or EFI mode? If its EFI then most BIOS screens have a method to then pick the actual EFI entry (if the bootup discovers more than one) and you can then set it to boot Linux (and hopefully your Linux install did a probe OS and chainloaded to your Windows Boot). I had this issue before.

I also had an HP recovery partition getting invoked every time windows booted and detected change. The remedy wiping the drive to her ride of that stupid partition
