No idea how to retreat from this, so shut down with the power button. But the new pressing issue is that W7 will not shut down, gets hung up on the “shutting down” screen. Replaced the Vista HD and with that W7 booted as expected, much to my relief. Previous advice here was that the Vista drive is needed to open W7. At first, BIOS showed the W7 drive as “disabled” but now merely shows it, I can select it, but the PC defaults to Mint anyway. BIOS still lists the W7 HD, seen on the boot options at startup, but will not boot to it, defaults to Mint. This went well, but then could no longer open W7. Removed the Vista HD and installed a new blank HD, which I loaded with Mint via a download. Since Vista now no longer used, attempted to substitute Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.1, the most recent version, for the Vista OS. Several years ago, bought and installed a second hard drive programmed with W7 HP 64 bit (a legitimate copy). I have detailed my attempts to dual-boot W7 and Mint Cinnamon in previous posts, but here is a recap:ĭell Inspiron 519 PC, originally came with Vista.
