Sorry to bother you, that is, if I haven 't been put on a giant ignore list. Replaced disk with new bigger SSD. Unfortunately, the laptop is not booting to the USB stick. I haven't even gotten to any video console yet, grub, bios, nada. I get occasional flashes of the disk activity light and nothing else. Posting from an RPI4 now. Tried various combinations of F2, F7, and no screen activity. :( Basically in the place I didn't want to be with my primary computer.
