basic overview of problem:
goal: trying to install a new linux os (any working one is fine)
key problem: the laptop does not boot from usb
laptop = lenovo u310 (none of the reset / bios methods work)
os = mint 18.1 (completely dysfunctional, crashes and freeze randomly like a min after booting the os)
on 'GNU GRUB' version 2.02~'
it has the option 'UNetbootin'
when i select this and press enter
it shows a black screen, black screen says:
running early hook [udev] starting version 232
other things
then
mounting 'dev/disk/by-label/' to 'run/miso/bootmnt'
then stuff
ERROR: '/deve/disk/by-label/' device did not show up after 30 secondds...'
Falling back to interactive prompt You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[rootfs ]#
where i can type something
im very new to linux so please explain what should be done and why? to solve this problem
