I would also recommend you disable Secure Boot in your BIOS. Especially since you already have Windows installed. I was able to create a dual boot where I can choose Linux COS or Win-11 at startup. If I don't make a choice, it will default to opening Commodore OS Linux. in the list, you have to arrow all the way down to see the option to boot into Windows. I first loaded Commodore OS Linux then disabled secure Boot in the bios then installed Win-11 following this Youtube vide: https://youtu.be/xy76ERFjrQk?si=Bc-1X8KwnXCtnIaT

I hope this helps.... Bruce

Also, after you have installed Windows last......
to restore the grub menu you should be able to launch the Commodore OS live installer on usb you used for installation and go to the menu:
System --> Commodore OS --> Restore Boot Menu

Hi Kowalas,

I would need to know what hardware you have, assuming you are installing directly to your PC, and not VirtualBox.

I also need to know if you are referring to the live installer loading up(you booted from USB/SD card) or what occurs after installation.

"Hello, I’m trying to boot Commodore OS from a USB drive that I created using Rufus, and I’m attempting to install it on a separate 2TB SSD. Unfortunately, I’ve tried every scenario, but I always get to the point where I can see the C= wallpaper and hear the welcome sound, but I don’t see any icons or install icon.

My system specs are as follows:

AMD Ryzen 9 3950X
TUF Gaming B450M motherboard
32GB RAM
AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card"

Hi Kowalas,

There isn't an install Icon like other live Linux distros.
Proceeding through the Commodore OS agreement prompts leads to the installation.
Failure to agree blows up your machine! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! :twisted:

Only joking....Sorta. Seriously. Do not even attempt to disagree.... :mrgreen:
It'll boot you out immediately and your computer will act weird from then on.
At least that's how it treats me. :(
