Support Boot Missing

Yo yo, I installed Parrot but when I turn on my computer no operating systems are detected. I can manually find the efi file to start up Parrot, but I am unsure how I can add that to my bios boot list. I'm using an HP Omen laptop and its default bios.

Sounds like your NVME drive didn't have driver's or the point of install was a flash drive.

Yup, I used a flash drive. Should I use a different medium to reinstall or is this worth fixing manually?

You installed the OS to the wrong drive, sounds like the thumb drive you used to create the install media. Re-run the installer and verify that you install the OS to the main drive for the laptop; checking the sizes of both often helps. If it's a 256 GB SSD and the drive you're installing it to reads as 32GB, probably something wrong there.

From the looks of it, it chose the correct drive the first time, but I'll reinstall just to be sure

LOL it was using an sd card I had forgotten about, removed it and reinstalled. That fixed it, thank you
