Hello Everyone.

I want to dual boot Fedora 33 alongside Linux Mint 20.10.
I used a software called UNetbootin to dual boot these Linux Distros.

After I used this software and restarted my computer, I went to my BIOS and selected my pen USB to boot Fedora.

My pen USB is DataTraveler 100 G3 that has a capacity of 64 GB.

After I selected, I started Fedora, nothing happened, except a message appeared: "Couldn't Load Resources. Trying to boot securely." or anything related to that. I don't remember the message exactly, but it appeared 4 minutes after the black screen that appeared.

2 minutes later, the same error was repeating around 2 times per second. After it stopped repeating, at around 8 minutes total, the file /dev/boot wasn't found, preventing my PC from booting to Fedora.


For the record, I have two Intel© Core™ i3-6006U CPU @ 2.00GHz processors and 12 GB RAM.


Can anyone help me? Any help would be appreciated.

I might recommend setting up a VENTOY USB device (link is in my signature), and copy the ISO for Fedora onto it. Optionally, set it up for persistence.

What you are doing is live/USB booting. Dual booting or multi-booting is when you ave more than one complete OS install on your hard drive. My assumption is that you do NOT want that, you want to boot Fedora from the USB device.

You might want to check if your machine uses EFI (uefi) boot. Ventoy can be set to support that.

I'd suggest forgetting unetbootin - it's problematic, instead see this youtube video on how to use Ventoy
How to Create a MultiBoot USB with Ventoy 2020 Easy and Simple Guide

The ISO for Fedora33 is here for download onto USB.

I never use 'beside" -- suggest separate parttions for each distro. You may install Fedora from Ventoy once the above two things are done

Yes, my computer uses UEFI. Probably I will follow your suggestion (wpekham's one), but I'll wait to see new replies.

Same thing, OP. It's the way to go
Good luck!

Eith either E2B or Ventoy it takes much longer to explain it than to actually DO it. It is easier and faster than you think.
