I hope to try again tomorrow or Tuesday. I may also bring one of my desktops
over to their house and plug the new hdd into my desktop and see of Mint
will see it there. If it does, then I know that it's a hardware/bios problem
on their computer.

I just want to make sure of something: you made a change in the
installed packages while running the live cd, rebooted the computer,
started up the live cd again, and noticed that there was no change? If
you didn't do something like chroot into the installed system, then
rebooting the live cd resto

Hello,
Did you try looking under every "nook and cranny" in the BIOS? In some
cases, options for this kind of thing might not be in a place that is
necessarily obvious. It could be under some option for the hard drives, to
use them in legacy IDE mode, SATA mode, or RAID mode, or something along
