W7/Linux Mint dual boot upgade

Shall I try and boot from it. As I say, the only place it could be is on the 81GB partition marked as Free Space.

Delete that other 'new' partition first.

Ok. How do I make it not active? It's the only partition showing as active on that disk.

Just delete it in disk management.

New Volume. The one after the Free Space partition?

This one.

Ok. This is what I got now. There is still the 17GB one at the end.

Now try the one-time boot menu to see if the Linux HDD will boot on it's own.

Ok. I'll be back in a minute:)

Hmmn. same as last night. The F12 one time boot menu comes up but I cannot move the selection with my arrows keys. It shows Floppy at the top highlighted then Hard Drive then LST120 then Hard Drive and several other option but I cannot make a selection. This is very worrying.
