I recently acquired an old PC at a thrift store for $10. It features a Pentium 4 supporting both 32 and 64-bit, a 1.75GB DDR 400MHz memory, and Linux Mint pre-installed on an 80GB SATA HDD. The system runs smoothly, even outperforming my expectations. However, it doesn’t boot properly with an SSD. I’ve tested connecting the SATA SSD and used a bootable USB to install a different OS, cloned the existing HDD via flash drive, and even tried installing Mint on the SSD using another machine. Whenever I use a USB drive, errors appear, and inserting the SSD always prompts “No bootable device – insert boot disk and press any key.” Any suggestions?
This machine typically lacks a hard drive. For setting up an operating system, it's usually best to start from a CD. If you're installing on another device, ensure the drive is formatted as MBR, otherwise it may not detect the GPT partition.
Starting from a CD resolved the issue. It was a bit slower, but it functioned perfectly.
