If everything is OK with the test-drive, we then proceed to do the install proper on the computer's internal hard-drive, or external USB hard-drive. Then we need to configure the computer's BIOS Setup to boot the Live LM DVD/USB, usually to do a test-drive of LM. Then we need to use a writing or burning program to write/burn the ISO file onto a DVD or USB Flash-drive to make a bootable Live LM DVD/USB, eg Rufus, Unetbootin, USB Image Writer, Etcher, Universal USB Installer, Imgburn, etc. Normally, to install LM on a computer's internal hard-drive, we first need to download the LM ISO file. ready to hurl this garbage to the four winds. Ill also add that some instructions ive seen call for me to creat partions in gparted, but I can't even set a mount point.

Can somebody please provide a program or a complete set of instructions how to create a complete Mint install on a seperate SSD, such that it functions similarly to to installing it to my main laptop drive and maintains any installed apps, such as chromuim.

So there has got to be some secret to doing it. I need the OS to store and hold information. It literally tell me to F#$% Off on loading, then proceeds to the windows OS on the main disk. Still, the bios is not recognising the SSD. After messing around with trying to figure out partitions and all that kind of thing, I eventually got a swap partition (logical) of 10gb, and the main partition (Primary) of 240gb.

I installed a live version on one USB and then using the install program, attempted to install a full version on the SSD. Granted, not a good look but had to be done right? Danced naked in the moonlight having sacrificed my firstborn to the Linux gods. Eventually, I got the swap partition as logical and the main partition as primary with a couple free spaces. All kinds of partitioning garbage was involved. Now Ive come to understand this is called persistent live.Ģ.

I want to us Mint as an OS on which I can save my preferences, applications and so on. The idea being that all I need to do is plug in the SSD to the port and fire up and away I go.

I'm attempting to create a second OS in an SSD LM 18.3.
