Perhaps he didn't choose to install GRUB on the 64G drive?

Dave here emailed me directly at the root@ address, and I offered to pass his question along to vox-tech list, to see if someone here might be willing to lend a hand: ======================================================================== Dave here in Citrus Heights. Hoping for help on using 64gb usb drive for Linux tasks; and original hard drive C Windows 8 for other tasks. (I visit Davis every 60 days or so, in case help is available.) I'm a new user of Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon; it runs fine on HP laptop on 16gb bootable usb drive with 4 gb persistence file (in bios, boot order is usb diskette first; secure boot is disabled). I have failed in the following tasks: * on a Mint bootable 64 gb usb drive with 4 gb persistence file: failed in attempts with gparted app. to revise persistence upward to tap unallocated space of around 58 gb. * today, using 16gb bootable Mint usb drive, tried "full install" onto 64 gb usb drive (no persistence file). It said installation completed; I powered off, and tried re-boot, but 64 gb usb will not boot Mint (it seems to look for usb drive, but boots to Windows 8). **** * also, if time allows, would like to work on Mint 16gb bootable usb drive to revise persistence upward to tap unallocated space. ***** ======================================================================== Thanks in advance!
