[Nottingham] Acer Espire ES1-132 Boot problem

[Clive]

Martin,

Thanks. The bios boot options are either secure boot on or off, that's 
all I can get to.

When I boot from a USB stick gparted shows me an EFI partition, which is 
not mounted, a swap partition and an ext4 partition.

I will most likely take you up on your offer and see you Thursday night

Thank you again

Clive
