<div dir="ltr">Okay..... I can still boot into windows. I have to press f12 and load it from that menu but it will load. Any way I can restore the laptop to the way it was when I first got it and then I'll put 17.3 on. Any comments on what I can do?</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 26, 2016 at 1:05 PM, Michael <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bmike1@gmail.com" target="_blank">bmike1@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I messed up. I installed mint18 on my external drive but mint18 is not quite ready for prime time so I figured I would put mint 17.3 on. Well, durring installation I told it to put grub on the external drive. now I can't boot unless the external drive is plugged in. I need the port the external is plugged into because that is the only USB port it will boot from and I need that port for the thumb drive. So my question is how do I install grub to sda1......<div><br></div><div>Mint won't boot now!
