I had a Lenovo x260 and it died. Does literally nothing anymore. So, i bought exactly the same (refurbished) and replaced the drive. Ubuntu is in boot options but does nothing, instantly reboots. Does anyone have tips?

    @netikras no. I only see "Ubuntu" in the list (hard drive name) next to network boot. It's the bios startup menu when I smash f12

    @retoor so no grub then?

    Is it an EFI-enabled laptop? Are you booting in legacy bios mode?

    @bigmonsterlover what do you mean? Formatting? The idea wss it would just boot in same laptop.

    Else I'll just make a bootdisk and backup using two USB sticks

    @bigmonsterlover OP wants to avoid wiping the drive and reinstalling the OS

    @netikras fuck! You were right. It had to boot in UEFI mode. I was so confident it should've been legacy mode that I didn't try until tonight. Thanks, very happy!
