My old computer with a LGA 1155 socket motherboard can't boot into linux for some reason. i thought it was just Mint, so i tried Arch, and only after i install Linux it stops recognizing the drive as something that can even be booted from and tells me to insert a bootable device. the only thing i haven't tried is another drive, but that same drive works on my other newer computer, and crystal disk shows nothing wrong with the drive. i don't have another free drive and am unwilling to buy another one just to potentially have the same problem.

My only explanation is it might be a motherboard setting that i'm forgetting. do old computers have a problem running linux?
