My wife's desktop pc shows signs that the ageing hard drive could be failing so I have bought a new SSD (Crucial BX500 240GB)
I have physically installed it & checked in bios to make sure it's regonised which it is. I booted from a memory stick with a live Linux mint Cinammon 21.2 which loaded up fine, I clicked on "Install Linux Mint" and the logo just spins round & round with no sign of the installation process starting, almost as if it couldn't find any storage to install it to but I have already verified that it shows in bios "hard drive CTBX500240" so what's going on here, have I missed something??
