Comment on Help a 7-y.o. Kid Get His First Linux Gaming PC
theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 1 month agoHmm… this is weird. I would say try changing the boot mode between UEFI vs legacy BIOS, but I see that you already have…
If possible, can you boot to live Linux USB and use the fdisk/gparted tool to inspect the partitions? If you can post a pic/screenshot of the partition info that might give us some more info.
What steps did you take to manually parition? Is the boot partition formatted with an EXT4 file system?

Sorry this is taking so long between replies. You know, life stuff…
So I’m still at "Operating system not found”.
Here are screen captures taken with the Pop_OS live usb. First is from Disks, second is GParted.
Am I crazy or there’s no boot partition?

You’re not crazy, I don’t see a boot partition either. So, that makes sense that it cannot boot. I think the simplest path forward will be to try installing another distro, and disconnect all hard drives besides the one you want to install to, if there are multiple drives in the machine.
