Title: Notebook looks like its formatted
Post by: kayronnBR on August 12, 2022, 11:14:50 PM
I installed the linux lite ISO on my notebook since my HD had a problem, but every time I turn off my notebook it looks like I had formatted it, like using it for the first time.

Did you re-use the HD with the problem for the linux lite install ?
If you re-used the disk, can you tell us

What OS was on it before it had a problem?
What was the problem with the HD ?

Did the LL installation appear to be ok ?
Can you tell us what you see when you re-boot after the install ?

If the HD really looks like it has been formatted that would mean the BIOS is saying something like 'please install a bootable OS'.

@kayronnBR
In the LL ISO - Live Environment still mounted? The USB/DVD you created - if so shut down and remove it (after fully installed) the Live Environment is not persistent by default and will revert at boot.
