I'm working on an old laptop (Lenovo b490) and I had to buy a new hard disk due to some complications with the old one. I had Ubuntu installed previously. Now as I try to connect the new HDD and install a new copy of ubuntu, it just shows "Ubuntu" as an option on the boot menu. I tried plugging in a pen drive but it won't detect anything. The boot menu still shows "Ubuntu". Please help.
P.S.: I can't share images

Hi, you can share link to images in your question. How did you create the bootable USB? I mean which software used? Is your motherboard showing new HDD in BIOS?

Hi, you can share link to images in your question. How did you create the bootable USB? I mean which software used? Is your motherboard showing new HDD in BIOS?

If someone else is having the same issue, I suggest two options:
- Either try to turn off
Secure Boot
- Or set BIOS settings to defaults (this one helped me on my Lenovo B590)
