The thing is it works, just that other bootable drives don't work, only this Linux drive, no live USBs not my old windows drive, nothing else works no matter what I Change in the bios
That sucks. If you remove the drive with ~~windows~~ linux I wonder if you could boot from a USB. Would be worth a try
Yeah but I would need another drive to now install another os on, but yeah it might be worth giving a try
True, but that drive is booting right? It's just no other drive will boot? I figured you could check if there's an issue with the USB port. If it boots then it could be that drive is causing the issue, although that would be strange. You could get an adapter and reformat the drive that way and see if that fixes the issue.
Yeah I need to get a new drive to test as I said, as for the usb ports I tried all of them on my pc, none worked, about reformatting idk if you mean Linux or windows but I have some important stuff there (the reason I installed on a new drive without having another sata cable) so it's not the preferred option for me
