Hello,
I am completely new to Linux and have attempted to install lubuntu 18.10 on a new Lenovo ideapad 120S with Windows 10 pre-installed. I was able to boot from a USB-disk and install lubuntu, but I am now unable to boot from the disk. If I start the computer with the USB-disk plugged in, it boots from the USB-disk without giving me the option not to do so, and if I start it without the USB-disk it gives me a "Boot menu" with a single option, "SATA SSD", but selecting this option does nothing except return me to the same menu again. When installing lubuntu, I chose to erase all information on the disk, so I no longer have Windows 10 installed, and I am now unable to do anything at all with the computer without the USB-disk. The system on the USB still works just fine, however, so I'm guessing it's only a problem with the installation.
Any ideas how to fix this? I tried reinstalling lubuntu again, but that didn't fix the problem. I hope erasing everything on the disk didn't remove some vital piece of software required to boot from the disk? Any help would be appreciated!
