Hi All
I know you must be getting sick of beginners running into problems with Kali after your repeated warnings but hoping one of you might be kind enough to help this noob resolve the below issue so I can move from Kali to another distro - the lesson has been learned!
After successfully running a number of live distro's from USB prior to the HDD install of Kali, I'm now getting an error at the GRUB/bootup stage of "unable to load ldlinux.c32" when trying to boot from USB and the laptop becomes unresponsive (requires hard reset).
Kali still loads fine without a USB stick so I can run any terminal commands you might need to help resolve the issue.
I had recently tried to (unsuccessfully) install an official NVIDIA driver and have also been getting errors on the Synaptics package manager too although the applications to seem to install successfully.
Please could you help me remove Kali/fix GRUB/MBR or whatever is preventing me from booting from USB?
I've added some further detail from a previous post I've just deleted from the "Getting Started" forum in the attached txt file but probably worth starting from scratch at this point (@Brickwizard just in case you sent any further replies to the initial post)
Many thanks
Alex
