My timeshift snapshots get saved to an ext4 partition on another drive (sat in the ultrabay where the DVD drive used to live).This thread is intended solely to help with install issues. This is what my system drive, 512GB, looks like in a T430, note booting legacy so no EFI partition and I've got a swap partition only because I've always had one, can't be bothered to get rid of it. That is the major advantage of a separate home partition. That way you keep all your config files and data, but still wise to have a backup. It should find win and next time you boot grub should give you a menu giving you the choice of booting mint or win.įuture installs - repeat as above, BUT you tell the installer to reuse your home partition for /home and NOT reformat it. Having re-enabled the win EFI partition, when you boot into mint, open a terminal and sudo update-grub. Given the bug, not sure there is any point in this, but I would do it anyway.īecause you have disabled the EFI partition on the win drive, the installer will not find win when it installs mint. Select your mint drive - you select the drive, not a partition. At the bottom of the screen is a drop down asking where to install the bootloader, grub. Repeat for your home partition telling the installer to use it for /home. Click on the ext4 partition you created for / and click the change button, tell the installer to reformat ext4 and use it as / (this is on a drop down). Next screen shows you your drives and partitions. You want to select the something else install.

You can do it all in the installer but I think gparted has a better user interface. I find it easiest to pre-partition the drive with gparted before installing mint. Re-enable the flags after installing mint. Given it is a thinkpad, probably easier to use gparted (booting from your install stick) to disable the esp & boot flags on the EFI partition on the win drive than trying to disconnect it.
