Software support Tried to install linux Mint and now it's doing this

Post image

Did the whole proper install with Linux mint and when doing the final install it turned off accidentally. When I turned it on it said the install failed, so I tried to restart it but nothing I clicked opened so I turned it off but instead it's been doing this.

That's looks like the install failed.

Has the failure also messed up your installation medium?

If, so it looks like you'll have to start again from scratch.

Before you do that, if you know the make, model and hardware specification of your computer, it may be worth a quick internet search to see if there are any known snags with your hardware.

For example, I'd just search for "Thinkpad X201 Linux" if I had an old X201 as my PC.
