i have a 16gb usb 2.0 flash drive and and i partitioned it like this : 1st volume is 10GB and the remaining space amounts to +-5gb. I am using the 10gb as a storage device and the rest for by bootable linux mint os. i have both 32bit and 64bit versions of linux mint 19.1 cinnamon and im not sure which one to use because i cant get the 32bit to boot on my old pc - i get this:
Booting 'Boot linuxmint-19.1-cinnamon-32bit'
(hd0,1)
f "%check%"=="0x00" partnew (hd0,3) 0 0 0
Error 29http://grub4dos.chenall.net/e/29)
Disk write error
Press any key to continue. . .
The volume is formatted as NTFS
Now it is fat32 and this is what happened:
after +-5mins it boots to desktop and error message says : Cinnamon just crashed. You are currently running in fallback mode. i pressed the restart cinnamon button but error persists. I click no and open system monitor:
CPU 100% _ very old pentium 4
RAM 43% used Max is 1.5GB
it reads all the drives that are installed : 2x40gb hdd, floppy drive, cd drive.
Then i installed Ubuntu MATE i386 18.04.2 and everything worked but slow as i expected. Cant really get much out of a northwood pentium 4.
Can someone please explain whats happening with linux mint?
Thanks
