This a follow oin from THIS topic.....
Linux Mint 18.1
Installed a nvidia Geforce GT 170
plugged into motherboard....found choice of drivers in "driver manager'...nvidias or open source
Used bioth of them and got same result....press start button....both monitors remain blank and off until well into what i assume is the boot procedure.
Ar around the 30 second mark the speajer lights give a flash, i get 'hdmi on one screen and the 'on' light lights up on the other....10 seconds later I have two loaded desktops......Perfect...except if i wish to boot to a usb, i do not get that option.....no F11 prompt to boot a usb or whatever....
I followed Wizardfrom oz's advice in that previous topic in order (hopefully) to get some daylight....but no dice.....the whole procedure remains irritatingly the same !
below are pics of the grub file, and the terminal after sudo update-grub
