Basil,
maybe because you are using the MS bootloader.

I am trying to install os 13.2 on my HP 6305 desktop. I have problems which continue to get worse. The computer came with Win-7 on disk /dev/sda (in 4 patitions). I added a second disk (sdb) and installed os 13.1. The partitions were formatted with ext4, and 'boot' was part of the root (/). The 6305 bios has Legacy Support enabled and Secure Mode disabled. Installation of 13.1 was not a problem, and all ran fine.
Problem 1: Booting the downloaded os 13.2 DVD, there are no entries for either 'Boot installed system' or for 'memtest.' Actually, this is also true for the downloaded os 13.1 disk (used to install that system).

Both 13.1 and 13.2 *DO* have those entries. There are 6 options:
Boot from Hard Disk
Installation
Upgrade
Rescue System
Check Installation Media
Memory Test
So which, exactly, "disk" you used to install - the full DVD or the Live disk?
Yes, I know all 6 options are on the disk -- it is the full 4.4 GB DVD. All 6 *do* show up on my laptop and the old desktop. But they do not show up on the HP 6305. The story is the same for 13.1.
The behavior is independent of the 'Legacy Support' enable/disable option in the bios, which controls the use of UEFI, and also whether my Linux disk (/dev/sdb) is connected or not.
