How to solve the issue when Linux Mint does not define the root file system?
If you encounter the error “No root file system defined” while installing Linux Mint, follow these steps to resolve it:
- Make sure you are using the latest version of Linux Mint and check the integrity of the ISO file you downloaded using tools like MD5 or SHA256.
- Check if your hard drive is functioning properly by examining its status in the BIOS settings to ensure it is being correctly recognized.
- Choose the manual partitioning option in the installation program instead of using automatic partitioning. The manual partitioning option allows you to manually create partitions and define the root file system.
- If you have already used manual partitioning options and are still facing issues, it may be due to problems with the partition table or file system. Try reformatting the hard drive and recreating the partition table.
- If the above steps still cannot solve the problem, try installing Linux Mint on another computer to determine if there is a hardware compatibility issue.
If you are not familiar with the installation process of Linux Mint, it is recommended to consult the official documentation or seek support before installation.
