| 1451019 | 2018-06-27 09:27:00 | I have had this happen twice. I have 'Cloudready' from 'Neverware' on a USB stick. Cloudready runs and/or installs the Chrome OS on most laptops and PC's. You can boot the PC into Chrome with it and try it out before installing it. In most cases there are no problems. I have two Mint PC's suffer from corrupted loaders after doing this. Just make sure that you have a backup if Mint is already installed. I use Clonezilla or Macrium 7 to do this. Active@ will not back up the Linux as an image, only bye by byte which takes for ever. |

| 1451020 | 2018-06-27 21:41:00 | What? I have Chrome on my Mint install. GD uses Chrome exclusively on hers....never an issue. Whatever happened, it sure wasn't the browser that caused it. |

| 1451022 | 2018-06-28 04:26:00 | Ok, missed that..... Mint now has a backup tool in it, you can download it separately, it's in your Software Manager list now.... And there is Timeshift for the system backup too. |
