Thread-topic: [LUG] Daughter's computer

See if you can boot it of a linux usb stick. That way you should be able to see the internal hard drive and if need be copy any data. Better using a second usb stick or drive for data recovery than trying to save it to the live usb.

When I power up the laptop the first screen drops down to 'Memort Test'
instead of staying on the top line which is to log in to Linux Lite. I
have already run the memory test, no errors.

So I move the choice up to Linux Lite which immediately starts the
flashing as soon as I press the enter key.

I did try getting to the console, without success,
