Hi Serban S,
Thanks for the input, the odd thing is if I run Linux Mint Live everything works normally, it's only if I run Linux Lite do I get this problem, I removed the HDD with LL on it and plugged in an external HDD with a Live copy of LM 19.3 Tricia on it, and it worked fine. when I removed that and refitted the HDD with LL on it the first plug in was ok, but after booting into it and then shutting down all subsequent plug ins resulted in auto boot.
One thing has occurred to me, when I installed LL I had to do it from a CD ROM, the laptop wouldn't see the USB I had created, (oddly enough neither did my main PC either!), I don't know if that makes any difference?
