Installing Trisquel from USB Hard Drive
Sorry if this is something obvious, but I would appreciate any help on this:
I have tried installing Trisquel from USB Hard Drive, and in the end it says installation is complete but needs to re-start the pc. I do this and it takes me back to the reboot screen and it only gives me the option to try Trisquel without installing or installing Trisquel (but I already did!).
I did re-install it to see if it worked the second time. When I do this, it tells me Trisquel is already installed and if I want to install a new copy alongside the other one or if I want to replace it.
What you must do now is shutdown your computer (not reboot), remove the
USB storage, and power on again. However, this method is rather
incomplete, because if you put any other USB storage while
starting/power on, your computer will probably complain if the USB
storage isn't bootable. For a complete method, see the next paragraph.
As a more advanced alternative: Instead of removing USB storage, make
sure that your computer's BIOS/UEFI has the local drives set first/in
high priority than the USB storage.

I tried shutting down the computer and removing USB before powering it on and I get this message:
"Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key".
I also tried changing the USB's priority in BIOS.
Did you selected the hard drive from the computer on the BIOS priority?
Does your BIOS has any locker? I once installed gnu/linux on a laptop that had this extra option that made the boot priority ineffective. Could you look at that?
It has been installed now. I had to enable CSM in BIOS to make it work.
