How To Find My LInux Mint Disk??
by abrogard from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5G3N3)
I had a Linux Mint installation. I used it to rescue a crashed Windows disk that couldn't be read, couldn't be mounted. Using Mint I was able to copy all the data off that disk. I copied it all onto a duplicate mint disk, I think.
So then I had two mint disks and the crappy windows disk.
So then I needed a machine for a family member and I took the mint disk out and put a windows disk in and gave them that machine.
A year ago. I come back now and try to run that Mint disk again but I can't find it.
What I mean is I have three or four disks here and one of them has to be the Mint disk. At least one. Maybe two.
Boot disks. But whichever machine I put them into and whichever disk I use I can't get Linux to boot up. Not a whisper, no indication whatever.
Should I expect a Mint disk to be moveable across computers or would it be tied to it's original 'home' computer?
